Shocks for a Lowered 2000 Camaro Z28
Jun 9th, 2009 by ross
Make: Chevrolet
Model: Camaro Z28
Year: 2000
What is your driving style: Normal Driver
Vehicle Setup: Rear Wheel Drive
Suspension Type: Lowered 1 1/2 or less
I have the Bilstein Lowering Springs on my 2000 Camaro z28 and my shocks are worn out. I have almost every suspension mod you can put on the car already. I’m pushing 452 RWHP & 437 Ft/lbs torque. The car only gets driven about 1-2 hours a month. I don’t drive it hard and stay on smooth roads. I am looking for a smooth ride from my shocks, not the heavy duty ride that I have now. I also have Bilstein shocks all the way around. I don’t want to spend the money for a shock that I don’t need anymore. Will the 341356 KYB GR2 Camaro shocks work for me? Will they wear out prematurely due to the lowering springs? I want to keep the car lowered for the looks but don’t want to pay for it with a stiff ride.
Answer:
More about ‘ride’ is mentioned on our website here – http://www.shockwarehouse.com/site/shock_absorber_myths.cfm
The KYB GR2s are for stock height cars.
However, the KYB AGX units are for cars with up to 1-1/2 lowering / handling springs -
