need rear suspension help

Rear suspension is starting to go out. I am looking for a new set of springs and shocks for the rear. What would you guys recommend for a street/strip car. My mods are in my sig. The rear shocks are yellow bilsteins right now, did that come stock with a 1988 iroc. Just wondering
Thanks

The Moog 5662's and 5665's, along with Koni Reds, are a nice combo. IROCs were equipped with Bilsteins, according to the Camaro White Book.

Spohn carries the above mentioned parts, though you might pick them up cheaper elsewhere. I purchased the springs from CarQuest for less than $100. Check Shox.com for the Konis.

Re: need rear suspension help

any difference between the rear and yellow koni's. Just remember this is for a street/strip car. I need to get some good launches this year. And is moog the only company that makes springs that don't lower our vehicles.
Is there anything else I should change since I am changing the rear springs and shocks
Thanks
