Default Which Shocks/Struts for a 1.25" drop?

I am thinking about lowering my Z28 1.25" and was curious what shocks/struts everyone is using? I dive it everyday about 60 miles in the city......Thanks in advance

Yeah, Koni's are great, plus you can use a lower perch in front/heater hose in back to drop your car around 1 inch without affecting drive quality much at all. Otherwise, Strano makes great springs for fbody's.

You can also go SLP Bilsteins and Strano springs for less money, and it should still be a big improvement over stock.

Koni sa shocks is the ticket.The lower perch on the fronts will give you 3/4" and the hose mod in the rear will drop it app. 1/2 ".If that's not enough get the Strano lowering springs .
They are the best.Call Strano performance.

Koni SA shocks & Strano springs will give you the 1.25" your looking for and the peformance and adjustability you want.
