Default what shocks do you recommend

Needing new shocks everything is stock 2000 firebird formula ws6. Daily driving on the street will have some drag time but not much. I am looking at Bilstein Part Number: 46-200402 and was wanting to know if anyone has any info on these and how much does it lower the car (if any)

If you are a street/strip car then you may consider the Viking or Strange shocks. They are externally adjustable and very affordable. Give us a call and we will be happy to go over some options for you!

Here's what I'd get, and for less.

Here's the lowering springs I'd take a look at:
BMR, Strano, Vogtland .

If the car is primarily a daily driver, I would recommend a Koni/BMR combo. Our springs with Koni Sports have been a proven package for years with many very happy customers. Ride quality is excellent, handling is greatly improved, and the Sports are adjustable allowing you to change the shock valving to accommodate your driving style. We are running a sale on our Koni shocks right now as well, so you can get a full set for roughly the dame price as the Bilsteins you are looking at. Give us a call and we can work you up a quote on this setup.
