Default Affordable Rear Shocks

Anyone recommend a good rear shocks for under $200, I was looking at Edilbrocks and seeing if they would improve my ride for the money. My V6 Camaro is an everyday commuting car. Thanks

I've heard good things about KYB Gas-a-just, and they're cheap~ $60 each, from here:

I intend to use 'em on the IROC, although by the time I will be able to give you my own opinion, it'll be like, June :/

Don't waste your money on anything less than SLP Bilsteins for your Camaro:
$371 for all 4:

You shouldn't need to change springs unless they are sagging or you want to lower the car.

You have to remove those from the car to adjust them -- I would suggest on-car adjustable, which are these:

The cheaper option is the SLP Bilsteins...

Thanks for the info I decided on the KYB AGX fully adjustable mostly because of the price $89 each on amazon. I also liked that they were red to match my car.
