I've decided I'm going to get Koni shocks (4th gen) and keep my stock springs on my '00 Z28. I just did the 1LE front swaybar and it feels much better now, even on stock shocks.

My question is this... Is 4 sweeps from full hard in the front, and 1/2 turn from full soft in the rear the best starting point? I want a ride that's not too harsh on rough roads, but still handles good.

What's everyone else running and how do you like it?

Thanks.

I would start at full soft in the rear first. That's what I run currently on my Strano springs as well.

Full soft in the back and maybe back up another sweep softer in the front (5 from full stiff). That should give you a good starting point with stock springs as you don't need as much damping as you would with a stiffer spring.

Thanks for the input. I will try 5 sweeps from full hard in front and full soft in the rear.

Any other opinions on this?
