Z28 struts/shocks

Funny dealer and online GM parts stores told me that the Z28 shocks and struts are still restricted from sale to non Z28 owners, however the full suspension kit is available. Anyone know why this is?

The full kit would work much better anyway, since shocks/struts are tuned per stiffness of upgraded control arms.

That said, I think you already have the Z/28 control arms, right?

Z28 control arms are stock arms with Z28 inserts.
