Default Shocks and struts

I want to replace my old and worn out shocks and struts with something that will give me a bit firmer ride. I do not want to lower it or replace any other suspension parts. What combo are most of you using to upgrade the shocks and struts.

Tokico blues are a budget upgrade, or basic KYBs. Without lowering, you wont have a huge change no matter what shock you go with (unless its the $2 special)

Strange Engineering 10-way adjustable shocks & struts would be ideal for you:

Well, after getting numerous suggestions and ideas. I have decided to go
with Eibach lowering springs , Eibach shocks and front and rear sway bars.
I also order the camber/caster adjuster to be on the safe side. All parts should be here next week.

So much for not wanting to lower the car. but this way the car will not only handle better, it will look better as well.

yeah, lol. I also have a 98 Camaro. its stock height and is so low you actually feel like the road is a finger tip away from you. that's the main reason for not wanting to lower the stang. I had a 67 stang lowered it and redid suspension, I'm sure when im done with this one , the 02 could probably out corner the 67. Hoping anyway
