i think the struts im looking at are from an lt1 car. i have a 98z28. would i screw up the ride of the car using that strut with my stock z spings?

 

Our cars have SHOCKS not STRUTS. You might get flamed if you continue to call them struts. But if the LT1 HD shocks you are purchasing are interchangeable with LS1 f-bodies, then yes, you can install them. Higher quality shocks = better ride. In our case, any replacement shocks = better than DeCarbon's. You aren't lowering so installing more expensive shocks will only make your car ride better.

Don't forget an alignment after it's all said and done.

Good luck!
