Default C5 Corvette Bilstein Shocks @CCA


Bilstein Shocks for the C5 Corvette


Improve the handling or just replace the worn out shocks on your C5 Corvette with Bilstein Shocks.
The Heavy Duty Shocks are designed to be the replacement equivalent to your original equipment shocks.
The Sport Shocks offer an increase in stiffness and ant-roll and are ideal for those wanting an affordable way to
improve the handling on their 1997 - 2004 C5. With either choice, you will enjoy the increase in quicker reaction
times, ride quality and tire patch contact.

Wow! Great Prices, I have standard ride height Bilsteins on my C6 and Love them.
Nice upgrade VS OE C6 Z06 shocks for very little if any premium.

99 C5 here with base springs and the original F45 adjustable suspension. I am lowered on stock bolts in the front and longer in the rear. Is there a preferred model for my setup? Appreciate the information.

B6's if you want a stock ride
B8's if you want a firmer ride

Both will work. Look into suspension set ups, you might want to level it out a little

You will need to purchase shock SIMs to defeat your F45
