Good luck. Solid axle car with a unibody.
You could try a different spring but it still isn't going to ride like a vette. Also i'm assuming you're using poly bushing which will be a stiffer then rubber.

Throw the prokit springs away and get stock ones.
Sell the hotchkis control arms and go back to stock ones with rubber bushings.
Keep stock sized wheels(no bigger than 17"), run 30psi in the tires.

Make sure you keep those LCA's greased, and for ride quality and handling, you're best off to go with a Roto type joint from UMI for the LCA's and PHB. It allows more articulation of the rear end. Poly joints in those solid LCA's are more suited for drag racing and don't articulate well and just bind up when you try to handle the car.
I'm getting rid of my Eibach/Bilstein setup for some Koni/BMR setup, but debating on just getting the Strano springs to match his sways. I have yet to get some Double roto LCA's and PHB from UMI. Gonna see how the car sits with the BMR springs first, then see how it rides. If it's still harsh, I'm gonna get the strano springs.
Strano/Koni is said to be the best ride quality.

Read my post.
Stock springs, control arms and bushings - yes. Stock decarbon shocks (or cheap autozone ones) - hell no.
Likely binding when they are supposed to "give" and flex, making the ride harsher and the handling less predictable.
