Its basicly a Eibach pro kit and Bilstiens, nothing real special about it. other than SLP slaps there sticker on the shocks.Which that combo to me is bouncy in the rear and harsh in the front.
Under 400 is Bilstiens, Kyb's not sure what else

Which leads me to the next point. Add up the springs and some shocks that are so-so. Comes pretty close to a set of shocks like Koni's, doesn't it? And when you add in the fact that Jorge lives in Puerto Rico the shipping is cheaper on just good shocks than on so-so shocks and springs. In the end you are looking at about the same kind of cost. My choice is better dampers.
You mention ride, and stock springs are going to ride better than lowering springs. The Koni's can lower the car a touch as well. And the Koni's give you a huge amount of control over the way the car works and feels.

Thats funny Sam I live in Texas. 
but any ways will the ride on konis be better than stock? I guess my issue is that the car has 106,000 miles and I don't want the springs to be the cause of the harsh ride because they are so old.

Verdad Gallardo Hell, that's my bad. Had another e-mail from a Jorge in Puerto Rico.... Oops.
If you had any spring issues, the car would be sagging. No sag, no problem with the springs. GM springs have proven to be really durable.

The car will be sitting low if the springs are bad. And because shocks have so much to do with ride, it will improve greatly. Firm, but much less harsh and a LOT better controlled at the same time.
