Shock Absorbers
 
Hi guys! I am planning to replace the shock absorbers on my 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Z51. Are Bilstein Shocks compatible with my Z51? I have read many good reviews about it. Please help!

I guess it depends on what you mean by "compatible". I'm sure they will fit if you get the models intended for your vehicle. However, how they will FEEL for you, and how you will like them, is kind of a personal thing that no one can predict. The shocks I had installed on the C5Z were Pfadt (which is a company I can no longer recommend) adjustables, which seem just fine to me. At least with adjustable shocks, if you don't like the feel, you can ADJUST them until you get what you want. With non-adjustables, well, if you don't like them, you either have to live with them, or replace them with something else to try.

Thanks for the input, man.
