I know you said you wanted to keep them the same, but the DeCarbons will probably cost more than a quality Bilstein replacement. Bilsteins are about $100 per shock. I don't know the price for DeCarbons, but I know that the stock replacement shocks on my daily driver (Saturn Ion) are $115 apiece.

I remembered there was a company that had "take offs" from new cars. I guess this is the place:

When it comes to WS6, I'm confused as to whether they were the same shocks as non-WS6 cars. If they were different, looks like it's going to be tough to find stockers.
And that's why I went with KYB AGX shocks. I got tired of trying to find the RIGHT Bilsteins at a good price.
To the original poster, unless you have a specific reason why you want to stay with the stocker (i.e., don't want to the hassle of replacing the fronts and you want a matching pair) most people are going to recommend going with aftermarket shocks, most of which are at supposedly at least equal to the Decarbons.

If that deal falls through, I have 4 deCarbon shocks off of a 2000 Z28 with 52,000 miles on them. I'm replacing them with Konis this weekend. They are in excellent shape and still on the car right now. PM me if you're interested.

Though if they are just worn, chances are other people's stock shocks are worn as well.
