Default Some advice on a lowered 87?

My 87 is lowered (front & rear) and I was wondering if there was a consensus on what is the best shock for a lowered Z-51? I am willing to spend the money so if there is some supershock that costs a bundle I'd be willing. I want something that won't keep my wife out of the car but I can still appreciate on winding, hilly roads at 25mph over the speed limit. I've tried the KYBs, and the ACDelcos but before I move into the $200 per shock range I'd like your thoughts.

Thanks!

Steve

try the edelbrock ias shocks I had tried these and found them to be superior as the bilstein shocks and definitely worth the $ hands down in my opinion

Another vote for the Edelbrock Performer IAS's. Personally, the stock Z51 Bilstein's are actually the best, but for an ALL AROUND shock, the Edelbrock's are very nice. (It's kinda like having Adjustable shocks)
