Installed Z06 shocks on my C6 (pics)
Installed Z06 shocks on my C6 (pics) What a job this was! Thanks heavens for my $1.49 Sears tool (that I made). You have to compress the shocks to install and remove. Without being compressed they won't come out. With them compressed you still have to work them out.
I attached a pic of my factory shocks verses the Z06. Much larger diameter and much stiffer.
My hope is they will help eliminate wheel hop.

What other suspension mods have you done? Any sway-bars, etc?

Love to hear track times too.

I upgraded my 01 A4 with Z06 sway bars, 04 Z06 polished alum. wheels and F1 Supercar tires. both made the car handle 100 times better. Now I have 04 Z06 shocks, ready to install in my garage and hope it helps more with handling as well has traction/wheel hop. Wanted to get 06 Z06 shocks, but got great deal on new 04 Shocks.
Thanks for the write up...
