Not many, go with 19 on F-body but I have to admit I one of the few that love the way they look, I just purchased some Koni's and kept my stock springs and my car rides like a caddy even with 4 people in it, so the pro kit will be fine for the SA Koni's

The Koni SA's are as good as you've heard.

Yeah, I love my Konis. With the Konis and Sam's springs, my car rides better than it did with the worn out stock springs and 110k mile DeCarbons. Keep in mind Sam's springs are close to twice as stiff as stock springs in the front, and my car rides smoother than before Koni's are awesome

Give Sam Strano a call and see what he recommends, he specializes in this and can also sell you what you need. The wrong shock with those springs will not be what you want.

Hope that helps,
