Default rear shock replacement-which make?

my 98 Z28 manual could do with some new shocks. It`s all standard and I don`t race it, what would you recommend as replacements? was looking at the KYB gas adjusts on Rock Auto.

also does anyone have a link to the Jeep bump stops that fit the Camaro as well

thanks

Bilstein HD is a street friendly shock.

Not sure about those KYB shocks but my experience with the KYB GR-2 was a cheap shock similar in ride to the stock decrapons. When I replace stuff like shocks I usually want to make it better unless the OEM stuff was already good, and the decrapons never were good

Seeing some good feedback on the new Koni STR.T shocks. Around the same price as the Bilsteins.

I have had both Bilstein and KYB AGX shocks. Hands down, get the Bilsteins.
