Default Best springs to go with Pro Kit?

I have a 2002 TA WS6 and bought the Eibach Pro-Kit lowering springs. I was wondering, what is the best combination of shocks to run with them? Are the upgraded ws6 shocks enough or should I go with someone like Bilstein or HAL? Thanks for the help,
Brandon.

I just had Koni sport S/A shocks in the front & Bilstein HD in the rear installed today with an Eibach Pro kit. My car is unbelievable now.... I recommend those. Bought them from Sam too....

You seem happy! Hope it's at least what you were expecting! Usually it's beyond most folk's expectations. Always curious about customer's thoughts....

I'm very pleased & it's what I expected. I've had upgraded suspensions on my other F-bodies so it's not something new, but none the less I'm very impressed. This set up is hands down the best I've had, a step above & beyond that of SLP's Bilstein that came on my SS....

I'm happy to see Sam eventually made it here. I really like my revalved Bilsteins with the Prokit. I believe that Sam mentioned that if you can afford it, Koni's are the way to go. But for the money, the revalved Bilsteins work awesome.

I have Koni DA's on the front and Bilstein HD's on the rear with my Prokit springs and I love them. I do track/lapping days and ORR, as well as alot of street driving and if I had to do it all over again, I'd buy the same setup. BTW I bought mine from Sam too ! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> Hiya Sam !

Yet another vote for Sam - revalved Bilsteins just simply rock, and you don't have to worry about making the adjustments yourself like with SA/DA Koni's. Obviously you get more control with the Koni's, but only if you know what you're doing. I've seen Koni's after 3 years on a car and they are a biatch to adjust at that point.

Call Sam! The interview alone is almost worth it. He will ask you a bunch of questions and then based on your answers hook you up. No pun intended.
