Shocks
I am new to the Forum I own a 2007 Corvette and need to change the Shocks.( I do not have the adjustable ride shocks) I like a firm smooth ride and any help that I can get on getting just a little more ground clearance would be awesome.
Thank you for your time

Larry, you can use the stock lowering bolts to raise the car a bit too. Here are a few videos that show the procedure: https://www.youtube.com/results?sear...te+stock+bolts

Just don't get them from shock warehouse. They have competitive pricing but horrible service. I was shorted a mounting kit and ended up buying one from Summit Racing after months of multiple attempts and promises from them to send the missing kit to me.

Remember the shock does NOT have an effect on the height of the ride but your factory lowering bolts do. Only problem there is that if they're already at the highest setting you're out of luck getting it any higher. See the above post for a U-tube link to how it's done. There's several different video's on that site, the first is kind of a joke, look at the "Project Z06" post for the most informative.

Do you have the base suspension or z51? I have the bilstein b6 shocks on my base suspension car and quite like them. With the stock shocks the car felt a bit floaty over roads that were up and down, and if I took a corner at high speed and hit a bump the car would feel a little unsettled. Both problems were cured with the b6 shocks. It feels a little more firm, but not much. IMO those are the shocks the car should have came with. I got them from rock auto

If you are going to leave it at the stock height and want something close but a little stiffer than stock go with the B6s -
Currently unavailable on Amazon but the part numbers are listed there for other searches.
If you will lower your C6 then get the B8s -
Cheers!
