Want to replace Shocks on 96 SS
They come with the Bilstien shocks all the way around. They have 180 K on them, wondering if I should just stick those back on from SLP or if anyone has any other Options I can use. Want a nice smooth ride not a drag car or anything.

And yeah the ride height won't change. The ride quality might change some... Which shocks, specifically, were you looking at?

Yeah no ride height change from just doing shocks.
The Koni's are a really nice upgrade because of their superior valving, adjustability and they have a lifetime warranty. Only Problem is they are not cheap.

The current ride is like riding in a 3rd Gen 
and the front psg side makes a nice sqweek when I hit aspeed bump or anything else of good bumpiness.
The Ride is just Rough, you hit a rough patch in the road and you feel like your going to go airboarne.
