Post Problems with Eibach Pro Springs

I had the Eibach Pro Springs installed on my 2001 Camaro SS. First two weeks the ride was ok. Now the smallest bump in the road makes the car feel like it is running with no shocks or springs ie, completely botoms out. At highway speed it feels like its floating. Do you think the shocks are gone? If so what shocks should I replace them with to correct this problem? Does Monroe shocks have a heavy duty or high Proformance shock? Has anyone else have this problem with their F-body using Eibach pro springs? My camaro only has 7,000 miles on it. Thanks for any help you can give.

I have them installed on my 2000 ss and they probably have 2 thousand miles on them and still no problems, could be the shocks not sure!

probably the stock decarbons and although they are not that bad of a shock (contrary to popular beliefe imo) they do leave plenty to be desired. get yourself some bilsteins and youll be gold.

How far off the bump stops are you at the back?

The only way to really check the shocks is to pull them off the car.
