Default Shock question ⚠️
Do the 2013 C6 Z06 shock front and rear they will be fit for C5 Bass FE1 ?
It will be nice to get the parts number for the front and rear ? ...

if you have selective ride control, when you install these shocks you will get a code/fault. You have to get it tuned out. Easily done. There will def be a different feel. Z06 shocks are very stiff.

If you don’t have the little switch next to the shifter with different suspension settings, then yes you are good to go. Easy change out. Did the same setup about 3 months ago. Super easy.

No because I have Z51 suspension. The ride was noticeably more firm.
