Or better springs... The pro-kit is notorious for being complete ****...

As far as shocks go, it depends on your budget... most people say Koni's are the best... But they will cost you big bucks. Other will say KYB adjustable are more then suffcient...

this is true...I had installed sportlines on my first camaro and it rode like a chuck wagon...put some shocks on it still rode like **** because the shocks weren't the best...back then I didn't think much into it and regretted it and ended up pulling it all back off

thats up to you...i would personally do all of them at the same time...but if money is tight then just do the rears...if you feel it still needs a little help continue on to do the fronts...but if you can just do all four corners at once

You would want single adjustable konis. BMR/Strano sell them.

If anything it's your Eibach rear springs you need to change because they're too soft and they do sag overtime. Change your rear spring to stock and do a hose mod until you can afford the konis.
