Looking for advice on what shock/strut set up to buy..
About a month ago i bought and installed a set of lt1 eibach sportline springs on my 2000 Camaro SS and am wondering what a good shock/strut setup is to buy. The only reason i bought the springs is because i got them for a cheap price and im trying to not spend too much money on aftermarket shock/struts considering the shocks on my car wore out in a matter of a month after installing the sportlines. I also must add that my car will see the track once or twice a month and this is my daily driver. Im looking to recieve input from the guys that have "been there, done that," although any advice is appreciated.

this should be a lesson to everyone. if you are cheap with the parts you buy you will regret the money you wasted that just makes your car junk. then you have to spend more money to make it right, or even just get it back to as good as it was. save your money and do it right the first time or leave it alone. cheap will come back to haunt you everytime.
I guess that people who say they don't take their car to the track also don't hit bumps, take turns, or use their suspension when doing their daily driving???
do it right and enjoy your car!

IMO lose the sportlines unless your just going for slammed street driving. With the sportlines a Koni will be the only shock that will stand up to the drop sportlines give.

At the very least upgrade the shocks to something like the AGXs and I think swapping out the Sportlines to cut stock rear springs would help a lot (2 coils cut = ~150 lbs rear springs) or any other rear lowering spring that isn't a Sportline rear spring, and get some fresh Z28 rear bumpstops in the rear. That alone would help the ride a lot. If you want to do it on the cheap I'd do all that along with the UMM up front and it should ride considerably better.
