Most Comfortable Replacement Shocks/Struts

Hi guys,
I'm looking to replace my shocks and struts in my 86 Camaro. The car is my daily driver and never gets raced. I know the suspension on 3rd gens is stiff to begin with and aftermarket shock usually make it stiffer. But are there any shocks out there that will improve ride instead of handling?
Thanks
Alex

I just got the NAPA Response shocks and struts for my 91 Trans Am and I hate them. I used to have a set of Monroe Sensatracs on my IROC and they rode good but I hated the handling, but that may be OK for you.

Just put the cheapo KYB's in my rear and all I can say is it's a huge improvement over the ones I replaced.

Re: Most Comfortable Replacement Shocks/Struts

I'm with Boogie123, I put KYB's all around on my 91z and I'm very happy with them. I must also say that I have only 3000 miles on them mostly cruising and touring, but, so far I am more than satisfied. Hope this helps. Randy
