New shocks needed any suggestions?
Hi, mY 02 trans am rides a bit ruff , I may change tires ,but I believe it is the shocks that cause the hard jarring ride over bumbs. I want a nice feel being its a sports car but don't need to feel every bump. Any suggestions appreciated, about how much to buy and install if you know. Thanks

Like stated above, Konis are great shocks. Unfortunately, they are also quite expensive. I have Strano springs waiting to go on with Bilstein shocks. What are your goals for your car?

Strano spec Bilsteins are the best bet for your needs. The ride is excellent and the control is very good.
Bilstein front with Tokico rear will save you a little more coin and also makes for a good combination. Just make sure not to get the standard Bilstein set-up most vendors sell - the valving on the rear shocks is not suitable for our cars.
