Bilstiens are the best bang for the buck They are not adjustable though.

Yes, Bilstein HD's for the non-adjustables. I have them and they are great.

For adjustables, look at the Koni single adjustables.

A great resource is Sam Strano at www.stranoparts.com Call him up and he will set you up. He is THE expert in F-body suspension in my opinion.

QA1's are adjustable but PRICEY!

Good shock comparason, including the Bilstein's HERE. Hope that helps..

EDIT: They ^ have good prices but w/ the link the way it is, you have to enter you vehicle information. Try THIS also...they don't have QA1's but they have HAL adjustable's and Bilsteins........
