C6 AC Delco Part #s
10313647 – Z06 Front Shocks
25819268 – Z06 Rear Shocks

The C6 Z06 shocks will work on C5’s without any modification. Best performance bang for the buck as far as suspension/handling mod on the C5.

I have a 01 z06 with what i'm guessing are original about 80k on shocks. I really should look into replacing them.

I'll agree - the C6 Z06 shocks are a great bang for the buck.

Go with the C6 ZO6 shocks. You will not regret it.

my previous Vette was a 04Z with stock shocks, my current is an 02Z with Johnny O, Shocks and Sway Bars with larger wheels and its handles so much better. Huge difference, stiffer but not uncomfortable at all. Love it.....

I picked up a lightly-used pair of B8's from someone here on the forum - plan to put them on in the spring with a 1-1/2in drop and we'll see how she rides....
