The stock ones don't lol sorry just messing. I had the same thing going on. I just put on edelbrock ias coilovers up front and shocks out back with new stock springs. You can adjust the coilovers to stock height, so it all stays the same. Night and day difference tho.

Best bet is either revalved Bilsteins from strano and stock springs or if you're really looking for a good ride and don't mind having the car a little lower his springs with the koni's he sells are the ticket. They are a bit pricey but worth it.

You can always just replace the shocks and not the springs or you could put on the Billstein package that came stock with the WS6/SS stuff.

Springs don't wear out nearly as quickly as people seem to think.
