Default ????Best/most comfortable shocks for a lowered car??????

i hate that my fucken car is always bottoming out. i currently have the pro kit springs with used billstein shocks on rear and stock shocks with prokit on front, it is really uncomfortable just need new ones that will fix the issue. im pretty sure it wont be really really comfortable but anything beats how it feels right now. thanx guys!

While I've never thought of any Fbody's ride as comfortable, I think I speak for most when I say Konis... they will properly dampen your vehicle when set correctly

I recently pulled the spacer out from the rear bump stops & that has helped a lot with the rear bottoming out.

Koni's. They are worth the money. I also removed the spacer from my bump stop and installed Z28 bump stops.

Konis are stiff but they will help. Really expensive though... SLP Bilsteins or Strano revalved Bilsteins will work too. New regular Bilsteins (the HD ones) won't help for long because they are designed for stock ride height springs which are softer. I have heard KYB AGX shocks are ok as long as the ride height isn't over 1.5" lower than stock, although the paperwork I got with my set indicated that it's only to be used for stock ride height springs.

I Have KYB AGX and Prokit. Its rough as **** bc I have all Poly bushings in the control arms, Swaybars, Subframes, and tunnel Brace. The adjustment is awesome, 1-8 settings

But damn it handles !

Ima switch over to Strano springs to raise my car bc my BMR tunnel IS so fucken low it scraps everywhere.

I'm in the same boat, but with Sportlines. I scrape EVERYWHERE!
