The Koni FSDs are an excellant shock. They'll made my Z51 feel like a combination of the F55/Z51 setup, car is rock solid and flat in the corners, no to little float. A little pricey but worth it.

Shocks
1. Find someone with a truely stiff suspensioned car. Try a Mitsubishi EVO.
2. Drive that car for 20-30 minutes.
3. Go back to your Vette. It will seem like a Cadillac.
But seriously, Ive heard good things about the Bilstein HD shocks as well. I have the Bilstein Sports, and that would probably be a move in the wrong direction for you. You might want the stock sways. I can't believe how soft my Z51 suspension is, and you are complaining about the stock shocks? Different Strokes I get (pardon the pun).

Don't laugh, but what is your warm tire preasure? The diff between 35lbs ( rides like a rock ) and 30lbs ( rides like softer springs ) is huge. Especially over sharp bumps. I would not do this for lots of highway travel though.

I think OPs complaint was on crappy road surface (seams, patches etc.) where the stock Sachs shocks are at their worst. I agree, nothing worse than that feeling in the pit of your stomach when the car becomes unsettled halfway through a hard turn...
Like Pa Blue Coupe and others, I'm really pretty happy with the FSDs and Pfadt poly bushings. It did pain me to pay what you have to for the Konis, but I console myself with what a great buy the bushings are. Now, just a little further tweaking on the alignment, and I'll be all set.
