Default What shocks and struts come from the factory in a 2002 z28?

I bought my car new. I noticed the rear shocks are orange in my car. Does that mean they are KYB from the factory or AC Delco? Just curious.

Neither. deCarbon, which was stock. Owned by Delphi, but not AC Delco and not KYB. Not sure why you'd think that.

Because I thought AC Delco made parts for GM

AC delco does make a lot of parts for Camaro.. But the stock z28 shocks are Decarbons.

I was more talking about KYB. KYB has never made shocks for GM to my knowledge.
