Default Which shocks/struts?

Ok well i dropped the car a couple weeks ago but my stock shocks/struts are still on there and im starting to look for new ones. I knnow id need new ones for the extra travel because of the drop so does that mean i need specific ones for the drop i have or is just getting new shocks/struts good enough?

Here a link, I had these on my camaro i know theyre cheap but they worked out great for me, i was wondering if they would work with the drop. Im not looking for anything crazy im not too worried about handeling or ride quality i dont drive the car that hard that i need something real expensive.

Oh yea the drop on the car was 1.5" front, .8" rear.

Well if they worked for you before, then I don't see what the problem is here.
Just buy 'em then, but if you want a nice set, go with Blisten or Tokico (sp?).

I recommend Bilsteins, I love mine, either that or Tokico adjustables, KYB AGX, or even QA1's if you're really wanting to drop some cash on your suspension.

It's hard to say honestly, they just aren't made for it. They'll work but not for long.
