In order of your questions:
1. NO
2. YES
3. Better for what??? The '04 Z06 shocks give a stiffer ride than Bilsteins
4. Better for what??? For track use, I'd use the '04 Z06 shocks. but the Bilsteins are not far behind as a good track shock.

thanks for the info...

setting the car up for autocross, presently has factory adj suspension, have seen zo6 shocks of different years for sale , if i replace the adj shocks want to get best upgrade within reason[ meaning inexpensive] :lol: :thumbs:

new 04 zo6 shocks for 297.00 seems reasonable... have seen 02 and 03 used for 100 to 200...

bilstiens for around 300.00.....

i gather the 04 zo6 are the best bang for the buck :auto: :hurray:
