Best Shocks for 82 Firebird

I have an 1982 trans am and i'm looking for some shocks that are good for daily driving and great handling. I have been looking at KYB's because they are cheap and pretty good, but i want to make sure i'm not overlooking something. Any suggestions?

LOL !! I've been researching the same thing For what I have read.

Monroe Sens-traks are for Daily driving,But wear out pretty quick tho

KYB GR2 Street/light performance

Toykio(what ever its spelled) Performance/Street ( mostly performance/Auto X)

Bilstein:Street(Most used among (3rd gen/4Th gen owners) Top Rated

Koni Reds/Yellow drag/Performance/Auto-Cross ( I have reds on my 1982 Trans Am and wouldn't recomend for street,Since they Ride to firm.


Ebay and shox.com have the best deals i have seen.

That's all I can think of for now
