Thinking of swamping out my original 06 shocks for a new set from Gene. Comments? Worth the trouble? My suspension is definitely twitchy and unsettled. I'm hoping the newer style shocks will calm it down a bit.

Forget GM replacements, find the thread about DRM revalved Bilstein group buy.....DRM still has some sets available. EVERYONE who's replaced the oem shocks with these loves the change, the DRM shocks are just what your looking for (more controlled/planted)
I have a set waiting to be installed when I get around to it, but like you my 2006 doesn't handle rough pavement well and gets bouncy and unsettled.
In 2008 the rear shocks were redesigned to take care of the issue you're referring to. But, each person is different as far as whether or not the newer rear shocks do it for you or not.

06Z Shocks vs 2010Z Shocks
The DRM Bilsteins have a much better feel than stock even for everyday non-racing use. And for $450 you can't really go wrong!
