Best shock/Spring kit out there? Hey guys, it has been FOREVER since I have been on here. The old camaro has been sitting in the garage for a long time since the weather is not GOOD at all. I posted awhile back about what I should do to my car next I was thinking about doing a whole lowering of the car project (shocks and springs). I want the best so I thought that Koni shocks and Strano springs setup (their best one(kit)). My question is I want about 1 1/2 in to 1 3/4 in drop all around and I want it to ride super smooth. I was just wondering what all supporting mods are RECOMENNED. I have UMI STB, box welded in SFCS 2 points, long tube headers, and y-pipe with turndown, underdrive pulley, K&N filter. I have heard adjustable panhard bar, lower control arms etc, what are your thoughts? All comments and opinions are greatly appericated. I was planning on getting the stuff over christmas and setting some time aside at my friends shop which has a lift and install everything.

Yea definetly the Koni's with Strano springs. You will want an adjustable panhard and I would recommend LCA Relocation Brackets to get back the lost suspension geometry with it being lowered. I have the Strano springs on stock shocks and love them to death I can't imagine them with Koni's.

) anyways I was thinking why not an entire kit? How low would the kit get my car to? 1 1/2 drop?
