Default suspension upgrade??

Which shocks and springs are the best, I have a daily driven Z28 with factory ground effects.
I am looking at the SLP,SS package- (Bilstein shocks and Eiback springs)

okay I'm gonna go with these mods:
G2-TA,LCA,PHB
BMR-STB
SLP-SFC
???-Shocks,springs???
Now, what shocks and springs work best for a daily driven stock height Z28 with ground effects and where can I get them for the best price? (I can't lower my car any, getting LTs later on)

Seriously? Thanks Mitch, I will!
By the way, isn't G2 having a chasis sale or something right now?
Also, will there be an extra shipping charge since I live in Texas?

The only way I can think of to get "stock height" and upgraded spring rates is to look at the Ground Control adjustable ride height kit (www.ground-control.com),upgrade the spring rates and run the ride height up to stock (or nearly so).

Shocks.....
I like my Koni Double Adjustables, but they are pricy and not necessary for most people, likely my self included. If you don't want to spend a fortune, it is hard to beat Bilstien shocks. THey are great shocks and an incredible value for the price (assuming that you are wanting better handling....if you are going drag racing, that's another story). Just some of my thoughts.
