Default Shocking Shock Question....

I am looking to increase my shocks, and have been wondering where Z51, Z06, and Bilsteins fall into ranking.

I guess I am looking to firm up my ride some, but not have it become jarring (also want to avoid any bottoming out probelems-which haven't happened yet...).

I've ridden in Z06's, and they rode nicer than my base supension with runcraps. Now I have NRF's with Z06 swaybars, and looking for a little more.

Does Bilstein make a "Z06" spec shock...?

Dave, there is a couple of ways to go... either get the Z51, Z06, Bilstein, or for the ultimate choice of adjustable ride quality at a good price... buy the Hal adjustable's. LAPD sells them. If I were replacing my shocks, that is the one I would get. :yesnod:
