Question Stock shocks with an Eibach Pro Kit?

Do you guys think I could use my stock shocks with an Eibach Pro Kit? If not, what kind of shocks should I use with the Pro Kit?

Depends on what you want to do with your car...

There are quite a few owners that changed their springs to the Eibach prokits and left their stock shocks...they have a bone jarring ride though...
Contact Sam Strano, be ready to spend some time with him, he'll be asking you questions, the more information you give him the better advice he can give to you regarding your suspension. Sam's a sponsor on this site, he's been autoxing our f-body cars for years, he even won the national championship a few years back, he knows our suspension setup better than just about anyone I know of...

And that's a good thing? The stock shocks don't ride great in the first place, and lack a lot of damping. So when you did the springs, the lack of damping still is apparent (since it was already, now just more so), and the ride was never anything to write home about.
