I was changing my brake pads tonight, and I noticed my shocks were orange(underneath about 4 layers of brake dust), which got me thinking, why would factory shocks be orange. So I did some research (thanks to this wonderful site it made it so much easier) I have 1LE shocks [img]smile.gif[/img] On the side of the shock it said Delco DeCarbon. It's kinda cool to know I have upgraded suspension, too bad I it needs to be replaced :( . I was planning to get the Z28 take off from SLP, but I guess that would be a downgrade. I wonder what other parts of the suspension have been upgraded... [img]graemlins/fluffy.gif[/img]

Sorry to bust your bubble, but all of the factory shocks are orange and are DeCarbons. The ones for the V8s are slightly stiffer. 1LE cars came with even stiffer Decarbons for a while, and then Konis I believe. -

Ha ha. Funny thread, sorry dude. DeCarbons / Delphis are the same thing, and stock. 1LE's have double adjustable ($700+ a set or so) Konis. Trust me, they're no DeCarbons.
More like DeBeers or DeGolds.

Just a little trivia...
deCarbon = the inventor of the gas shock, I believe it was first used in early 1900s? GM named them after him.2002 5-spd NBM Camaro
