Bilstein shocks
I'm pretty sure one of my rear shocks had a leak while at the body shop. Luckily we saw it because it was on the lift. I will head to MTI and get some new shocks on my z51 once I get the car back but wanted to see how people like Bilstein. I cannot do full coil overs, just don't have the cash to go that far now. Also going to have the car lowered because I have a wide body kit now and even with the bigger wheels there is room to lower the car. Just wanted to see what experiences others have had with these.

I have the Bilstein Sports on my Z51. They are tuned correctly and provide excellent control. They are a slightly harsh as lower speeds, but just right at higher speeds. I am happy with them.

I have a 2008 coupe, Z51 with Bilstein sports shocks and it made a difference. At 30k miles, I started to feel the stock Z51 become less effective. At 46k miles, I installed the bilstein sports and really enjoy the handling performance that the shocks brought back to the car: more control over bumps, flat and stable cornering and they firmed up the ride a bit, which I wanted. The Bilstein sports work well with the Z51 option
