Both great, sounds like you’d do well with boosting B6. Sporty and an upgrade without being harsh. We have them on my wife’s c5 Vett and she likes them
I like bilstien myself. Their shock valves tend to be well done. We run B6 on our c5 and it’s great. Very controlled a the comes. And in street my wife daily drives it and finds the ride very good with summer tires
when my shocks wore out on the C5, I wasn't gonna pay $750 per shock for shitty, soft shocks, even if they're some form of (very early) mag ride. I bought way cheaper, way better ones far more suited to my needs than grandpa's. Funny, the cheapest shocks you can buy for a C5 are the OEM C6 Z06 shocks and they're like $280 for all four, and they're great.
The original ones where blown at 60k miles. Going with Bilstein Sports.
The KYB shocks I ordered from them had the wrong bushings, both front and back sets.
