aFe Control Johnny O’Connell Shocks – C5 Corvette (1997-2004)

Revolutionize your C5 Corvette’s handling with aFe Control Johnny O’Connell Shocks, masterfully tuned by the four-time Le Mans champion for track precision and street comfort. Crafted from hard-anodized 6061-T6 aluminum, these mono-tube shocks feature a floating piston design, separating nitrogen gas and oil for consistent damping. Engineered for race-level responsiveness, they deliver a smooth, controlled ride without OEM harshness.

Developed in Corona, California, these shocks undergo extensive R&D and A/B testing on tracks, canyons, and rough roads to ensure racecar-level grip and daily drivability. The optimized damping curve eliminates harsh ride characteristics while enhancing response for sharp turn-ins, keeping your C5 planted during aggressive cornering. Built to OEM travel and durability standards, they’re a direct bolt-on upgrade, requiring no modifications, making them a “set it and forget it” solution for enthusiasts. Compatible with Coupe, Convertible, FRC, and Z06 models, they’re the only OEM-quality replacements tuned by Johnny O’Connell.

Ideal for autocross, track days, or spirited drives, these shocks provide predictable handling and superior stability. Pair with aFe’s sway bars for a championship-caliber suspension system that excels in any driving condition.
