looking to replace shocks on my 2001 c5 what to get?
My car has about 109,xxx mile on it and the factory shocks I am sure are done. Im looking for a good economical replacement that are possibly better than the stock ones.

C6 Z-06 shocks :thumbs:
buy them from Gene Culley at www.gmpartshouse.com :thumbs: |
OMG! C6 ZO6 shocks! :smash: Massive improvement over stock and there only $240 new for all four. :thumbs:
There have been 4 recent post on this very topic. There a direct bolt in replacement up grade. Purchase some used C5 ZO6 or Z-51 Sway bars and springs for even more enjoyment! Gene even has a C6 Sway Bar and spring upgrade. BC |
Are the shocks on the c5's a pretty easy swap?
|
About as straight forward as it gets. No special tools if thats what you mean. The most complicated part is compressing the shock. I use coat hanger to keep it compressed and when I'm ready, just CUT the wire and it expands in place.

How is the C6z shock on a lowered C5 over 30k miles?

Personally, I would go for the Bilstein HD's.

For a lowered car I'm planning the Sports.
Not spending $1500+ for coilovers.:crazy: |

How do these compare to Bilstein Sports?
If your C5 is at stock height or lowered on factory bolts, then Bilsteins are the way to go. That's what I'll be getting after I put some more miles on Maggie. |
