Default help on which shocks to get?

I just got my 19x8.5 ADR Sterlings put on my Z28 and I was thinking about getting the Eibach Pro kit lowering springs, but which shocks would your recommend to go along with the Eibach Pro kit? Any information would be gladly appreciated.

The two reccomened shocks for them springs(or just about any spring with a higer rate than stock) is the revalves for 550 I think or the Koni 4/3 for 725 or the 4/4 for little over 800.

Them are your chocies. Lots of threads about this same topic you might find interesteing.

If your looking for a car that handles well on the street, auto X, canyon carving, etc. I'd recommend going with Koni Single Adjustable shocks. They are indeed expensive ($825 for the set) but are well worth the money. Trust me on this, they are amazing. I've got Koni SA's with the Eibach Pro-Kit and the car handles so much better, it's a night and day difference. If your thinking about getting the Pro-Kit as stated in an above post your two choices are Bilstein revalves or Koni's. Those are really the only shocks that can handle the increased spring rate of lowering springs.

You won't be disappointed with the Koni's, they are worth the money. If you want to see some pics of an F-body w/ the Pro-Kit & Koni's on it then just let me know.
