1997-2004 C5 Corvette Shocks & Struts

Transforming your Corvette's handling characteristics happens through upgraded 1997-2004 C5 Corvette Shocks & Struts replacing worn or inadequate factory dampers. These suspension components control spring oscillation, preventing excessive bouncing while managing body roll during cornering, making the difference between composed handling and unsettling body motions that compromise driver confidence.

 

Shock selection balances comfort against performance. Street-oriented dampers provide comfortable rides absorbing road imperfections gracefully but allow more body roll during aggressive cornering. Track-focused shocks control body motions firmly, maximizing tire contact and cornering grip but transmitting road harshness into cabins. Adjustable dampers offer versatility-dial in comfort for street driving then increase damping for track days or canyon runs, though they cost significantly more than fixed-rate alternatives.

 

Shocks and struts make a major difference in how your car handles, bringing an immediate improvement to your 1997-2004 C5 Corvette Suspension. As full performance builds come together, they even pair surprisingly well with airflow upgrades like 1997-2004 C5 Corvette Cold Air Intakes, since a more responsive chassis complements added power. And when you’re aiming for maximum precision, they work seamlessly alongside 1997-2004 C5 Corvette Coil Over Kits to deliver a fully dialed-in handling package.
