Question Need new shocks/struts HELP!

I need to replace the front struts and rear shocks on my 01 Z28. Currently, it has the OEM units. What is the best brand? I'm not wanting to adjust the ride height and I don't really need adjustable shocks/struts. I use the car as a daily driver and just looking for a good quality replacement. I was thinking Bilstein, but I'm open to all opinions. Thanks for your help.

If it's a daily driver then your not going to need to spend much money to get a good ride. I personally have KYB AGX on my car set on 5 and i daily that! The ride is smotth and alittle more stiff than stock which is what i like.

I heard bilstein isnt as good as they once were but like i said it doesnt matter if all your doing is driving around town i would just buy something that is in stock and alittle more expensive than the cheapest $20 a shock brand.

Don't try a search, it's a question that's never been asked before.

I have a few more posts, but I would give the same advice. It's been talked to death.

A set of Bilsteins would do fine for your DD. BTW, there are no struts-just shocks.
