car feels like jumping around at high speed at about 120 the camaro feels like it wants to jump all over the road. the steering rack was replaced not too long ago and the wheels were all aligned. it drives good and straight at slower speeds but above 120 the car feels like it wants to start dancing all over the road. anyone know what it could be or why?

im not sure. its got whatever the previous owner put on them. wahtevers on there seems to be good because i can push down on the rear and it'll settle on the 2nd bounce. has anyone else experienced this?
it'll be going fine and then all of a sudden want to pull slightly to one side and then back to the other. any other ideas anyone?

i'm not swayed by your bounce test. look at the shocks, if they're orange, there's your problem.
my car exhibited the same behavior to the point that it was scary to drive at high speeds. A set of good shocks (Koni SA) and I was back in business... glued to the road and overly confident at 150

depends on what you've got as a set up and how much your spending.
sam strano or lou giglioti(sp?) will be able to tell you the best for you app.
the rough idea you'll get is if your lowered or want the best bang for the buck go with revalves or step up to konis. if your stock and just have to have shocks now then the bistein hds will work fine. again this is just what ive found from months of searching and trolling.
on a side note im getting revalves if the damn back order ever ends.
