I found the best prices for springs and shocks on e-bay. I just purchased Bilstein HD for $309 including shipping.

I also got the pro kit springs for under $200 (not installed yet, hoping I like them).

Tires...285/35/18, or stock diameter would be 275/35/18, or staggered size - maybe 295/35 in back and 275/35 in front.....

Tbyrne carries the Hotchkis for the cheapest price that I have seen:

DMS you will have to get from:
http://www.dynamicmotorsports.com/DMS%20Springs.htm
I thought they were a sponsor?


I choose the DMS over the Hotchkis to go with my Bilstein HD's.

Try e-bay motors. Do search under Bilstein Camaro. Got mine recently for $309 incl. shipping.
