Shocked!
I have a 2007 C6 Z51 with 73K on the clock. I was wondering when I should change the shocks. I do not know how to check them because the old method of pushing down on the bumper doesn't work. Any help would be appreciated.

My opinion: If you can't detect any obvious performance difference while driving and are looking for a test method...they are good. what made you wonder if they are good? miles alone? I think many of us are prone to obsessing over finding potential problems that aren't there P.S. I replaced mine with Bilsteins at 32,800 miles and 4 yrs old....so I get it. I noticed absolutely no difference, but was relatively inexpensive and fun DIY project.

You should have seen me obsess over motor oil 8 years ago.
I too swapped the stockers for Bilstein HD's...I'm not sure handling changed at all. Perhaps if I pushed it to the limit, which I won't because I'm too scared.

Shocks are generally rated for 50-60,000 miles. My opinion is it's time for a change. Shocks wear out over time and we really do not notice the change, unless they just break. I replaced mine with bilstein HD, they ride good after a ton of hassle, I would not buy them again. If I ever decide to replace mine again I will try the Koni.
