LOL, you think THAT's bad, stay FAR AWAY from Monroe SensaTracs on Camaros!
Stick with Bilsteins or Konis and you will be SO much happier. Ask me how I know.

i replaced my shocks with kyb a few months back much better the the stock orange ones but not 100% happy with them at higher speeds a little bouncy. ive used kyb in all of my 4x4 trucks and there great. not so much on sports cars there not as stiff as they should be. i also changed my rear springs at the same time with moog cargo springs but im just **** like that

Here's what Strano says about KYB, Bilstein and Koni (he has 14 SCCA National Championships):
"The Bilstein's are WAY better built, more durable, and ride better. As you move to the HP kits with Koni's what you gain is *useable* adjustment (where a lot of the AGX adjustment isn't that helpful because is changes the wrong thing at the wrong time). Also Koni's have a lot more rebound control, and that's a huge part of what makes a car feel planted, secure, tied-down. Also greater rebound control makes the car roll and pitch slower, not less, but slower which makes the car much more planted and easier to drive quickly. "
