Default pro-kit+bilstein shock/strut pics?

i currently have the eibach prokit on my 2002 ws6 and im looking into getting the bilstein shocks/struts installed. i've heard that certain shocks/struts will raise your stance some. i am happy with my current stance but i dont mind if i raise up just a little. my fear is looking like a 4x4 again. i still have the stock 17x9 wheels. i was hoping that you guys could help me out with some pics of this setup, if possible on a trans am. camaro pics would be helpful also. also if anyone has opinions on the bilsteins or if you perfer other shocks/struts let me know. the setup i am looking into getting is going to be for the street/strip. i want a good shock/strut for the strip, especially. your opinions will be greatly appreciated.

I don't have any pics for you, but I have heard many people have used Koni SA's in the front and Blistein HD's in the rear with the pro-kit.
