I have a2008 corvette a6.one of my shocks is leaking in the front.if i don't want a harsh ride which bilstien shock should i go with.i have 90,000 miles on the car.should i just replace the front two or replace all four shocks.
Thank you.
Does your list of Option Codes include "F55"? These are found on a placard in the glove box. The F55 code means you have Magnetic Ride Control, and replacing shocks is complicated, problematic.

it is not magnetic ride,i just want to know which bilstein shocks i should go with.
Yep, the HD's are for the base model,
The sports with slightly stiffer dampered for the Z51 option type cars,
While the DRM re-vavled blistein shocks are more for the Z06 isntead.

Before i parted with my 08 Z51 Corvette I had the Bilstein sport shocks and they replaced a set of Z06 shocks which replaced my OEM Z51 shocks " with only 35k on them"and my own personal experiences with all 3 sets of shocks is go with the ZO6 shocks which are better than the Bilstein heavy duty and not as harsh as the Bilstein sport and you can buy the ZO6 shocks "used corvette forum + ebay" at less than 1/2 price of the Bilstein shocks, i've seen ZO6 shocks on craigslist for less then $200.00 with low mileage. Brand New Ive seen ZO6 shocks in the $300 range.
bilstein shocks
