I installed C6 Z06 GM shocks on my Z51 C5. I love the ride and the handling. Gene Culley at GM Partshouse can hook you up! You can spend a lot more, but unless you track your car,,, a lot,,,,go with these direct replacement shocks. I would do it again and it has been almost a year now!

I have the C6Z06 shocks on my 99 Z51. they were certainly better than the stock 55K mile shocks,but in my case they still feel a little "lacking". I think I may drive a little more agressively that some other here - or maybe the roads here in Kali are worse.
I'm going to replace them in the next few months with DRM valved Bilstein sports.
