Replacements for OEM Shocks?
My 2007 Z06 has 27,500 miles with around 4,500 of them being track miles. I feel like I need shocks as track performance isn't what it used to be. I don't want to go coilovers and I am not replacing/upgrading sway bars or anything else. This is my daily driver as well as doing HPDE duty.
Four choices with prices (new fronts and rears):
Stock GM replacement: ~$270
Bilstein Sport: ~$350
Bilstein HD: ~$350
Pfadt Johnny O'Connell: ~$550
What would you do and why?

The OP might want to consider the Koni FSD shock. $750.
FSD=frequency selective damping.
I really like mine but I do not do track days.
