aFe 420-401001FJ Johnny O'Connell Front Shock Set for C5 CorvetteThe aFe CONTROL Johnny O'Connell Front Shock Set 420-401001FJ gives the 1997-2004 C5 Corvette a matched pair of direct-fit front shocks designed around stock ride height. These gas-charged monotube dampers use a revised damping curve developed with input from championship Corvette racer Johnny O'Connell, making them a strong replacement choice for C5s whose original front shocks have lost control with age and mileage.For an older C5 Corvette, fresh front damping can make a major difference in how settled the car feels over broken pavement, under braking, and through quick direction changes. This non-adjustable pair retains the factory mounting points and avoids the complexity of external shock adjustments.Product Details aFe CONTROL part number 420-401001FJ Front shock set with two shocks Gas-charged monotube design Non-adjustable valving Johnny O'Connell-tuned revised damping curve Designed for stock ride height Factory mounting points retained Direct bolt-on installation with no permanent modification Benefits Refreshes front suspension control on aging C5 Corvette dampers Helps reduce float and excess motion over transitions Supports a more composed front end during braking and cornering Maintains stock ride-height geometry Important Notes This page is for the front shock set only.
