Default Which Bilstein To Buy?

Hello,
Im looking to replace the worn shocks on my 07 Z but I dont know what shock to go with. Im starting with the rear ones and I cant decide to get the Bilstein B6 Performance or B8 Performance Plus. This car is my daily driver/occasional track/weekend cruiser. Thanks guys!

There is no need to wait for any other responses, see above... hopefully they have them in stock. Do it, do it now, never read a negative review, love mine

Yep, this is all you need to know, unless you want to go coil overs. But these work really good on our cars.

If for some reason you cant get a set of the DRM's, the B8 is the proper shock for the Z06.

The DRMs are in stock. Just chatted with Randy and ordered a set.
