Default Is there a difference between C6 Z06 shocks from year to year

I am wondering are C6 Z06 shocks all the same. That is, are there any differences between 2006 to 2011 Z06 shocks? Thanks for any input.

Sorry, you are right, much like hens teeth. Try 06 through 11. Now that I have the years right, do you happen to know if there are any differences?

GM changed the rear shocks for the C6 Z06 in 2008 (softer to improve ride and reduce the "jitters".

I went a different direction on my '03 Coupe. When I was changing out the left rear wheel bearing I saw a bit of leakage on the shock. Could not find in my records where the shocks had ever been changed and car has 130,666 miles on it. So got to looking at options and what I like in a shock for what I do with my car. Ended up with C6 AC/Delco Softrides F1 shocks for front and back. from RockAuto also. Came in pretty fast and had them changed out in a day but my body really didn't like it. LOL. But done deal. And find the car a bit better on our fine bumpy roads down here.
