Quite expensive though, but I need the upgrade bad.

Shocks recommendation
My 2012 C6 has original shocks. They are starting to ride poorly. What replacement do you recommend? OEM? Any performance brand?
FYI, this is my daily drive. I do not have adjustable shocks.
Thanks!

If you want a little bit firmer ride with more stability go with
If you would like even firmer go with the B8s...sorry I can't find a link for the B8s on amazon.
Replacing them is quite easy. I did mine by myself in 2.5 hours...while watching the Boston Bruins beat up on the Canadians...so I was a bit distracted.

Also agree that Bilstein that most fit your application is probably the best option. Not sure if you do anything else but daily drive, but the Bilstein DRM only a bit more are re-valved for the corvette. Will control the oversteer in bumpy corners a bit better if you are an aggressive driver. I like them but I also autocross and the reason I got them. Street only guys love the DRMs also.

I like the B6 for a smoother ride.
