Hey just want to say hey, Im new to the Z28 forum but not new to F-body forums in general. I currently have a 95 Z A4. I only have an 96-97 style SS hood and 98-02 SS spoiler on the outside so far. Its purple with black leather. It has 112,000 on the car but the motor is stock and has around 40,000. The only things done to it are MSD cap & rotor, MSD super conductor wires, air foil, hooker aero chamber catback, 02 M6 aluminum driveshaft, UMI LCAs & panhard bar, and finally 97 SS 3.42 rear end.
I plan on putting LT headers, ORY, and maybe cam with ported heads and intake. We will see how much funds I have this winter.

Shocks yes, springs no. I dont like lowering these cars. I feel they are low enough already. Do you suggest any shocks?? I will definatly be putting some weld in subframe connectors after I get the exhaust all done.

Most people say the best shocks are the Koni SAs.

I'm not actually sure what the differences are, but the spring rate is different. I'm not sure whether the rate is higher or lower.
Rebound rate is in the shock, not the spring.
If I remember correctly, the general consensus is that a stock 4th gen is overdamped and undersprung, meaning that a better setup would have softer shocks and stiffer springs. I'm not totally sure about that.
I recommend giving Sam Strano a call, telling him what you want in general (stock ride height, less body roll, whatever), and letting him recommend the parts to get the job done.
