you absolutely get what you pay for when it comes to suspension.

i just recently put their gr-2 struts on my grand prix and wish i had listen to others. they ride worse then my 60,000 mile worn out originals. in my case though i wasn't about to pay 600 more for the koni setup so i can live with it.

when it comes to the camaro i went cheaply on my first strut/shock setup and used gabriels. they worked pretty decent but didn't last much more then 10,000 miles of normal easy driving.

i had koni for a little while but they were too stiff when i didn't want them too and got rid of them for bilstein. i have the hd's on there now and after some mileage i'm ready for some new ones. with the car as low as it is i will be going with the sports as the hd's ride great but can't handle a really low car.

when i bought my bilsteins it was 340 for the 4. now days i'm not sure what they cost but it was definately worth it in the ride.

good luck.

for a sportline yes, for a pro-kit and not much lower the hd's worked really well. once you go close to the 2" and lower the hd's wore out really quick.
