KYB AGS on a budget and Koni if you want topline.

Not trying to be ugly but I don't like the Eibach kit at all. I had one on my LT car and it banged on the rear bumpstops ALL the time.

Good choice. I like BMR's drop and rates. You should enjoy them The Eibachs are just too soft in the rear IMO....

i have sportlines with stock shocks, its really not as bad as people say it is, it just depends on how much you can tolerate lol
ill up grade to KYB's eventually, but ill keep the eibachs because i love the stance.

i had eibach prokit springs.. still have the fronts on, but i switched the rears to strano's rear springs. i was hitting the bumpstops a lot on the rear, but i took out the bumpstop spacers and that cured it. as far as shocks go, i went with bilstein HD (heavy duty) and it seemed to be fine. thing is, they're not for lowering springs. bilstein has a different S (sports) line for lowering springs and aftermarket swaybars, but none available for camaros.

i have been in an fbody with kyb agx shocks. the driver was showing me how they work on some curvy backroads. i like the kyb agx shocks, but you can't adjust rebound/compression separately so you end up with a super stiff ride if you want it to handle right.

everyone loves konis and and i'll switch to those pretty soon.

^^^^ Koni does make a double adjustable shock but most people opt for the SA's which only adjust rebound. Even Sam Strano runs a SA on his car IIRC......
