Got them on my C5. They are a great shock. No more wheel hop and the ride is real nice. Takes the turns fantastic. Expensive , but ya get what you pay for.
I hope they do the same on my Z06. Tried getting in on LA.P.D's special on the FSD's and missed out.

I decided on the FSDs too, and love the improvements. I mated them up to my Z51 with Michilin PS2s, and Pfadt poly sways. What a change!! The car handles and rides much better now. It is still very firm, but planted through rough corners and on bumpy stretches of highway. I think that the FSDs+Z51 gives you the perfect high-performance feel (short of coils). F55 would be your other similar option..adjustable but lacks the other Z51 features. Best of both worlds +1.

That is what I was wanting to know. I have the Z51 option and, being a high mileage driver, can already feel the o e shocks starting to give up the ghost. Speaking of Pfadt, I need to contact them. Glad you reminded me.

I'm also interested, but can't justify replacing shocks with only 14K miles on them...
What I would really like would be dampening charts for Koni, Bilstein, Z51 and Z06 shocks so I could make a proper, informed decision of which ones are for me...

I did a web search for the Edelbrock shocks. Seems not many carry them.
