Bilstein hd + lowering

I currently have 1.5 drop springs on my Camaro, most people say that I would need re valved bilsteins, while others do not.

I'm kind of on a budget, would like to order some brand new bilteins but the re valves are pretty expensive..

Any advice, is it a smooth ride w/o the re valve?

On smooth pavement at speed the ride is just fine. On bumpier surfaces the ride get's choppy.

It means changing the the valve inside of the shock. You modify the valve to change the compression attributes of the shock, bound/rebound.

Here is a good visual and explanation: http://www.mre-books.com/resto/restomod1.html
