Are these shocks a direct bolt-on for my Corvette?

Yes, these shocks are designed as a direct bolt-on replacement. They use all of the original equipment mounting points for a hassle-free installation.

What makes the ride quality different from stock?

The damping curve has been completely revised. It removes the harshness often found in OEM dampers during high-speed impacts, while still keeping the car stable.

Do these shocks come with hardware?

The manufacturer description states that all O.E. mounting points have been retained for installation. It does not specify if new hardware is included, so it's best to reuse your original hardware or consult the installation instructions.

These shocks are a bolt-on solution for your Corvette and are tuned by Johnny O'Connell to the exact specifications needed for a perfect balance between performance and smooth ride.
