Default Help finding 2004 Z06 shocks

Looking for 2004 Z06 shocks.
I can find new rears for sale, but no luck finding fronts.

NOT looking for any shock that will fit. Only want 2004 Z06 shocks.

Any suggestions for vendors?

Try www.rockauto.com. I have found many parts for our cars there at reasonable prices.

I wonder what the difference is between the c6 z51, and the c6 z06 compared to the 04 zo6 shocks.

I am guessing the 04 z06 shocks are more similar to the c6 z06 shocks then anything else

i saw some c6 z51 shocks for sale for $100

I bought mine off e bay of amazon 300. If you can afford it call gene from Cultrag and get the C6Z51 sway bars. You will get more noticeably out of the sways than the shocks. If I had to do it over with the knowledge I. Have now I would spend the extra 150ish and buy a better then stock than Stock ZO6 trust me they are not what you are hoping for. Not to say they are bad there just not what you as i was expecting.

when I lowered mine I wanted the Bilsteins B8 sports because they are designed for a lowered set up but I couldn’t swing for both For the sake of my exhaust fund but I would have happily sold you my Z06 shocks for more than fair price. Spend the extra money if you can. To notice anything from the Z06 shocks is shocking. No pun itended unless the ones your taking off have serious miles.

Thanks to everyone above for the tips.

I ended up otdering the C6 Z51 sway bars, and Bilstein B8 shocks (formerly known as Sports).

I am also upgrading my Z51 springs to C5 Z06 springs. Just waiting for everything to arrive.
