For a ride as nice as yours, compliment the ride with a nice set of Koni's
But try www.gyrhead.com give them a call or email them, they used to have a bunch of Left over decarbons that were literally brand new...it's been a while since i seen them but wouldnt hurt to ask them.
but everyone is gonna steer ya away from decarbons

Nice ride. If you're looking for direct replacements you could just go through any Chevrolet dealership, but they're going to be pricey. SLP may still also have sets of take-offs. eBay would be another option. I have a set of used Decarbons, but you're probably looking for new.
If originality is not an issue, I'd have to agree with the others and recommend a set of Koni SA or DAs over any AC Delco product. Call Sam Strano (a sponsor) and he'll hook you up.

mine are nearly new...less than 5k on them. I think they ride great imho and handle fine. but this is my first sports car, so i think it's pretty amazing what the car can do. anyways i'll be pulling mine off this spring if you are interested in them. damn near new man...i'll give you a good price. it's only the front ones that are nearly new, one of the old ones broke in half so i was forced to get it fixed while on vacation and that's all they had was the stock ones.
pm me if interested

I believe DeCarbons are no longer made - but not sure. (You can do a web search and find more info.) For their time (long ago) they were decent, but shocks have since evolved.
I just replaced mine with the SLP Bilsteins. I have a WS6 DD and can't tell the difference between the new SLP shocks and the way the car drove from the factory.

DING! Now you all know why I'm not a fan of the current era Bilstein's.

DeCarbons
I just put KYB AGX's (adjustable) and I have to say these are some nice shocks and a very reasonable in price. I'll give you my deCarbons! Nice thing about the KYB is that there is a dial for 8 different settings. they are working well with the lowered springs, etc
