Default ZO6 Shocks?

Is there any difference in the 03 vs. 04 ZO6 shocks?

the 04 shocks are a bit better for the track but not noticable in the street...

Yes. See above. FWIW, C6 Z06 dampers will also fit if you wanted for some reason.

I installed the C6 Z shocks on my C5 coupe. They are a huge improvement over the base shocks. Great bang for the buck. I think I paid around $180 for all four.

I've got about 500 miles on my C6 Z06 shocks. I like them so far but haven't really pushed the handling yet with the engine break in period. But they seem like a nice upgrade from the stock ones on the Z51 set up.

I purchased them new from a friend who works at a GM dealer. I think the price was 10% over cost.
If you're local (Maryland) I can hook you up.
A couple of the vendors on Corvette Forum offer similar deals.
