A new set just turned up on the craigslist in portland oregon 200obo in the parts section I search the word camaro daily and all kinds of good stuff happens. Still may not be worth shipping though

All of you considering shocks need to read this post by Strano carefully -- tells you all you need to know if you care about good handling shocks on a 4th Gen:

"Koni's are great for those looking for the best control and the ability to tune and dial the car in to their liking and to work just right with other parts. Think of Bilstein's as non-adjustable Koni's, as they are pretty similar to Koni's set full soft. That said, I can't think of anyone who given the choice of setting their Koni's to wherever they please, chooses to run them full soft.

Bilstein and Koni are the two best shocks that you are going to get easily in off the shelf form, period. Which you want depends on how well you want to build the car. I can tell you that all my personal cars have Koni's, even my winter beater BMW 325is with 225k miles... all the way to my Z06.

So I'm going to order up a centerforce df tomorrow hopefully and the wife wants me to hold off on the shocks until christmas is over. But I'm going to order bilsteins as I can have them ordered and shipped for $20 less then kyb. Don't ask how but that's just the way it goes.
