Default Best shocks for roadrace/street use??

I am planning on putting a set of Eibach Prokit on my car and was wondering what kind of shocks are best for street and cornering??

I would probably vote for Hal's, as they are very good shocks and adjustable like crazy

I would vote first for Koni DAs or SAs, then Bilsteins. I'm not sure the Hals would have enough rebound.

I had a set of SLP Bilsteins on my car back when I had a set of LT1 Pro Kit springs {slightly stiffer than the LS1 Pro-Kits} and they pretty good. They would work pretty well with the slightly softer LS1 springs.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I beleive that the SLP Bilstein have a bit more rebound and a smidge less compression than normal HD Bilsteins. Only reason I changed was because I found a set of Koni DAs cheap.

I would contact Sam Strano junior at www.stranoparts.com. He really knows his stuff.

Good advise GONEB4U. You could also check with LG Motorsports, both give great {but slightly different advise}.
