    Question 2002 Camaro SS Shocks

    Hello, my 2002 Camaro SS definitely needs rear shocks and I should probably replace the front ones at the same time. In terms of what to buy, a lot of people say only get Bilstein, but they are kind of pricey. Are there any other comparable shocks with a better price? I would like to save some money but want to avoid buying cheap shocks that won't perform as expected. Thank you in advance for your help.

    I've ran Bilstein for years, best bang for buck without breaking the bank. Look at it this way, partly a little more now or double later. Brands like Bilstein and KYB last longer and ride better then stock or bargain brand. I'm currently taking my Bilstein's from my 98 to my daughter's 00 vert because I've upgraded to Viking coilovers.


    Also Rockauto has them cheaper for the front over everyone else. Like I saved $50 even with paying shipping costs
