C6 Corvette aFe CONTROL Johnny O'Connell Front Shock Set (2005-2013)
420-401001FJ
aFe 420-401001FJ Johnny O'Connell Front Shock Set for C6 Corvette
The aFe CONTROL Johnny O'Connell Front Shock Set 420-401001FJ is a two-shock front damping upgrade for the 2005-2013 C6 Corvette. Developed with input from championship Corvette racer Johnny O'Connell, the gas-charged monotube shocks use a revised damping curve to improve front-end control while retaining stock ride height and factory-style mounting.
For C6 owners who want a more composed chassis without moving to externally adjustable dampers, this matched front pair offers a direct-fit solution. Replacing both front shocks together can restore damping consistency and sharpen the car's response through braking zones, transitions, and uneven pavement.
