Default leaking shock

my 06 z is lowered so obviously the shock doesn't have enough travel is there another shorter shock to use?

order a set of bilstein sport shocks for $300. the same shocks used on 300k ruf porsches. they are superior to the sachs in every way. they offer better ride with more rebound control. the car just feels planted. they are a tad stiffer than stock but in a very good and supple way. the shocks are just a little shorter than stock which lends itself even more suited to lowered C6/C6Z. the reason they are a little shorter is because these were originally released for the C5. bilstein chose to carry the same shock over for the C6/C6Z.

i prefer these over the 1600 mallett/penske shocks i used to have

part number be5-2977, be5-2978

got mine from shockwarehouse but you can get them from any number of online retailers
