Quick Shock Question
Probably been discussed many times before but I cannot find anything in a search.......
Can you replace Non-Z51 (FE1 type) type shocks with Z51 (FE3 type) shocks. If so, is it a straight swap, or is it more involved that simply bolt on the Z51 type shocks.
Many thanks

Many thanks for the quick response. I'm planning on doing just that to my 2005 DSOM. By the way, your avatar looks exactly like my car! One more question....I have not heard of the zip-tie method. Please enlighten me!
Again, thanks for the quick answer

most people put the z06 shocks in as an upgrade. The other common upgrade is to put in z51 sway bars. Plenty of people make those two upgrades and it will transform the handling of your car.
