Default Need help with Springs/shocks

I am currently upgrading from a v6 to an LS1 in my Camaro and I need some new shocks and springs. Im looking for Bilstein shocks, but I cannot afford to drop the height any because I have a set of LT on the car. Im not looking for a great shock, just one that will give me a comfortable ride but also give me some stiffness to corner. I found a set of shocks and was wondering if it was a good deal.

The shocks I have seen through Summit and SLP are $425 a set and these seem to be the same but are only $337. Any help would be great!

Those are replacement shocks for stock springs and height. The SLP ones are more expensive because they were "valved", and I use the term loosely, specially for the SLP suspension which was like .75 inches lower than stock. The ebay ones though will work great on stock springs. Look at our sponsors, you may find them cheaper.

Get Bilsteins, you can get them for that price. I speak from experience, if you can't afford Konis, get the BIlsteins, period. Even the Bilsteins make it a different/better car.

While not cheaper (I sell HD's for $349), I'm available to answer questions (such as what the differences are) and I'm a sponsor.....
