I recently bought some pro kit springs from a member here, i installed the back and my 2000 z28 looks great on the rear,, I haven't done the front yet. I knew I was gonna kill the stock shocks eventually. I know the Bilsteins, konis are some of the better ones, but I want some to just get "by" lol I don't drag race or race at all for that matter. the Z28 is my daily driver an I recently noticed that it pulls to the right and the car started vibrating when on the highway, I do need 2 new front tires so don't know if that's the issue or its because i need to get new shocks and get it an alignment?
I dont mind if any one recomends atozone springs cause I really mean budget lol
part #'s please

Your gonna get the same answers over and over, dont waste your money on anything until you can get the right stuff. I ran Eibach prokit on my car for around 20k miles and my decarbons are shot. I wont spend a dime on new shocks until I can afford the Konis now. I figure do it right once.

sorry bro, save for konis...and consider selling the pro kit after you swap in some strano springs with said konis.

The Double S

Well if you need new tires that is probably an indication why it pulls and vibrates. Usually excessive bounce and body roll as well as bottoming out is an indication of bad shocks.

I had a similar setup though. It is a good look. Since you don't race you won't want Konis. And since you're working on a budget and you're happy with the pro-kit you're probably not going to want Strano Springs either (I have the Strano/Koni setup on my car actually). You might want to look into KYB AGXs. I've heard people like the Bilsteins as well.

I suppose if you want to go as basic as it gets you can just go to Auto Zone and see what they have available. Auto Zone and Pep Boys have part searches on their websites now where you can specifically look for parts for your car. Check out Summit also. I know they have a variety of shocks for F-bodies.

You can get some KYB's and do the upper mount mod. That should be a large improvement over deCarbons and no suspension travel.

ya I think i need shocks, you ever heard of loud pipes save lives? well shot shocks also save lives lol I have a muffler cutout and people hear the noise from the shocks over the muffler haha... thanks guys so i guess what I need is the KYB's AGX

and

did you buy new decarbons or where they the stock ones? because mine have 114xxx miles on them and I haven't put not even 500 with the pro kit and they are dead.
I wish i could afford the good stuff but for now a good shock that will last 20xxx sounds about right

I'd do SLP Bilstein's first, KYB AGX's after that. SLP's are $409.99/set, AGX's $379.99 set
