Well the C5 has been riding rough and brought it in. With 74K plus miles it was due to happen. The MRC shock are leaking. My guy recommended the F55 delete and Bilstein shocks.

Has anyone done this?

Also the shocks are in short supply. Anyone know someone with rear shocks for a 2004 in stock?

I did it. It was awesome. Z06 shocks on all four corners. You need to have a dongle or have the ECU tweaked so it doesn’t freak out. Car handles far better without those POS mag shocks.
