Several sponsors here have them and most of them have good service and prices (that I've dealt with so far).

Strano
LMPerformance
Tbyrne (I think he carries them these days)

and several others.

If you're going to do the "hose mod" and lower front perch, just use your current springs, they don't go bad and if they haven't sagged (not common for a stock spring), they are just fine. Save your money and just buy the shocks.

FWIW..... only one of those companies is:

--Owned by someone who runs them on his own Camaro.
--Has proven with results he knows how to tune them.
--Spends time on this board with advice and knowledge and not just sales and specials.
--Is the one who popularized the heater hose mod.
--Is the one who informed folks of the lower perch on the fronts.

You'll find the prices to be about the same from everyone. So why not deal with the person who can pass on the most knowledge about your car *AND* the product.

I have the Koni SA on my T/A, the best mod I have ever done. I got them from Sam, I would not look anywhere else. The customer service is top notch, I had a question when installing them called and Sam wasn't avalible so I talked to a nice lady who helped me. And she gave Sam my number and he called me to make sure it was going alright. Every businesses customer server should be that good.
