Is this a good deal? http://www.ws6project.com/user_stor/...6e2ac6d6aaae70
600 bucks for;
LT1 F-Body Eibach ProKit Performance Springs (P/N-3831.140)
2 Bilstein Front HD Shocks (P/N-B461913)
2 Bilstein Rear HD Shocks (P/N-B461914)
I think after I get my int wraped up, I may go a head and pick this up. A pro kit would work good with my stock wheels for now, and then with the 18 inch rebels I get later on.. Sound like a good first suspension upgrade besides my 3pt boxed SFC's?

Good deal? well that depends. If the Bilsteins included are properly valved with the Eibach's that come with it, then they might be okay, however I doubt that, since the price of proper revlaves alone come close to the total price.
Also be aware that in the Bilstein catalogue, they say that regular Bilstein HD's are to used with OE springs, not replacement springs. If the seller tells you otherwise, they're not telling you the truth.
I think you should talk to Sam Strano. Despite what skeptics may say around here, he's very spot on with his advice, and he'll really be able to get you what you can use, and not just what you want.

I really dont need to turn my car into a corner carver though. All I am looking to do is bring it back up to atleast stock specs, make the ride a bit better, and lower it down a bit. I will not spend the money for re-valved bilsteins, not going to spend that much money on struts, not worth it to me.

If you get lowering springs, usually that would and should have a higher springrate. HD's usually arent up to the job of dampening most of the aftermarket springs. Koni's or revalves are the way to go. You don't have to get those but then you wouldn't have a good ride quality. I guess it depends on where your priorities are if you have to sacrifice one or the other.
Let me quote myself.
Regardless of how much one can value shocks, you requested this:
You are really asking the impossible with using "off-the-shelf" Bilstein HD's, because they aren't valved properly with the springs you want.

read the top, then proceed where the 93-02 Camaro is listed, and it will note to reinstall original equipment hardware (which does include the OE springs).
I have heard several varying opinions on what it "feels" like to combine aftermarket springs with either OE Decarbons and/or regular Bilstein HD's, but the problems with the complaints lies with the valvings. In the long run, you will prematurely wear the shocks doing that, and also be unecessarily uncomfortable. There is no substitute for proper damper valving no matter what lemming testimonies are around.
