Default What Shocks?

I have a 2000Z28 and am looking for some new shocks. The rear seems to have a squeak in it and I have narrowed it down to the shocks. Car has 81.xxx miles on it and what the heck go ahead and change em. What is a good riding shock plus can be adjusted for track use?

Does anyone on this board use the search function? There have to be 5 threads on the first page concerning shocks.

IMO, the only way to go for adjustable shocks is Koni SA. Some will jump in and say that QA1s are awesome, but from my research that is not correct.

Sam Strano would be the man to contact concerning shocks. He is the guru. www.stranoparts.com

I don't believe that the Edelbrocks are adjustable.

Bilstein HD would be a great choice without adjustability.

The only Edelbrocks I have experience with were not good and were replaced with Koni's within 2 years or less (30,000 miles or so). I'd look elsewhere.
