Question about Shocks

What shocks should I use which will steady my car more at high speeds. Say 120 or 130. At those speeds the car feels very unsafe when hitting a bump or in a wazy part of a road. Would stiffer shocks be best?

any typical suspension upgrade should help that. i would say a set of sfc, springs and bilstein shocks.

and maybe a fat-azz wing on da back yo

Koni & HAL Shocks

My suspension is pretty built. Have SFC, STB, Eibach lowering springs, LCA, Panhard bar. Getting my relocation brackets today. I was thinking of getting the adjustable HAL shocks or Koni. What does everyone think of those?

Of those two, I would say Koni. You would probably be happier with them for overall street use. If you need the adjustability of the Hals, then get them.

Doesn't Koni offer an adjustable type? All the web pages from LT1 stuff seems to push the Hal types.

I believe they offer a couple of adjustable types. They are not cheap, though.

I would go with hals, they're awesome for the strip and you can adjust them for the street and they work great there as well.
