1998 Trans Am Spring Question
Does anyone know of a good website to find springs and shocks for a 1998 Trans Am? Something that is not over priced? Thanks

You have a few options that I am aware of...
Sam Strano has always been helpful. I have also dealt with the WS6 store
Stock replacements = stock performance (wouldn't recommend them)
Bilsteins = Good performance upgrade, reasonable cost. Good choice for budget
Koni = Great performance upgrade, $$$

What do you want these for? Going for looks only? Drag? Handling? Ride quality?
Setting up a car for drag will be almost opposite than setting one up for handling or ride quality. You need to be much more specific on what you want to do and what is "over priced".

Are you after lowering springs? I ask because many just assume the stock springs need changed as they are old, but that's not really the case. Now, if you want to lower the car, or have it roll and pitch less, etc... then you want springs anyway. Shocks and springs work together and must be thought of together much likes heads and cams, or cams and valve springs, or wheels and tires...
JD_AMG makes a good point about what is overpriced. That only you can answer based on your budget (which I don't know). Though what I think you are asking/saying is that you don't want to overpay for something that's maybe not so good. If you won't pay more than $300 for springs and shocks, you'll think everything is overpriced, let alone anything actually good.
