Suspension help for a 2002 Trans Am Put Eibach Sportline lowering/suspension kit on my car and ride quality massively diminished. What have you guys done...shocks, etc that might help get some of my ride quality back?

Better springs would be one. It's clear to see they wrecked what you had and you can certainly do better. But in the end, provided you don't use junk or inappropriate springs in place, the shocks are a huge key to ride and handling. Many think that the setups I do ride better than stock (not softer, they are firm but less harsh), not worse.
Part of the issue here are springs that slammed the car and left no working suspension travel. The other part is the shocks don't have a chance to damp given the tiny amount of travel and the fact the rates aren't nearly stiff enough for the drop.

I wish I would have done a little more research before buying my pro kit

We have packages and springs are included in them, but you can buy them alone as well. They are $269 shipped.
