I have Konis on my v6 car and these on my Transam. As soon as I get everything finished on the car these will be coming off and i will be getting something else. I don't like mine at all honestly. Could be from being spoiled with my Konis. Think I'm gonna try qa1's next.

I have that same combo. I had eibach prokit on stock shocks and i upgraded to rear agx's. I didnt feel much of a difference but the car rides just fine around town as long as your roads arent complete trash.

Get you a set of either SLP Bilsteins or the HD Bilsteins. Either way you will be a million times happier than the AGX's. Trust me. I had a Pro Kit on one of my old 94 Z28 that I've sold and ran it with AGX's when I fist installed the setup. After about 300 miles both back shocks began leaking. Warranted them out. Less than a week later front left one started leaking. Replaced all of them with SLP Bilsteins and put almost 25k miles on them over 2 1/2 years with the Pro Kit without a single issue.

I sell both... I never recommend AGX's over SLP's.... and I sell the SLP Bilstein's for less than the AGX's too. See some of the above comments from guys who have AGX's and both Bilstein and Koni. FWIW, choppers you don't want to do QA1, I'd use AGX over QA1...

Nothing is going to help driving into a pothole really. But anyway, the best you can do is almost a completely stock setup. Stock spring. Go back to a 16 inch wheel. Get some Bilstiens or other good shock. Probably want somewhat near stock swaybars. What mods do you have now?
It's really up to you though. Only you know what you think rides best.

I have them in the shop, $379.99/set.... If you are in the Columbus area like is seems you are, you'd be like $399 shipped and can have them in about two business days.

Let's try it this way. If you want Monroe's I'd be happy to sell them to you. Yes, I can get them, and in some cases (NEVER on F-bodies because the Sensatrac sucks) I will use them, primarily on trucks.
LS1121 is Monroe crazy. And when I say crazy, that's just what I mean. Those are TERRIBLE shocks if you have any idea what shocks are supposed to do. I mean the idea of putting grooves in the shock to allow oil *AROUND* the piston is insane unless a pathetic lack of control is what you are after. Technically we call that a leak.

I deff want the bilstein. Outside of the pro kit and bmr turbo k member the suspension is stock. I have a bad strut so that's why I want new.
