Save yourself the time money and headaches and just buy the ones from DSE. Their price is not all that bad either. Konis are pricey.

DSE designed the QL around that shock. It will be hard to find another one that will give the range of adjustment and proper ride height (of the shock). I tried, and was unhappy with the results.

I shopped around trying to find the Koni shock DSE uses and was not able to find a price that was cheaper enough than DSE to justify the risk that it might not be the exact one.

all that you need to know is what the shock length (eye to eye) at ride height, and how much compression rebound you need, generally on first gen camaros whether its stock or aftermarket chassis, a 5 inch shock works perfect.
that said a 5 inch shock can come in different installed height lengths. so if yo u set your project up at ride height and measure from center to center of the mounts this is your installed height, now you can look for shocks. this is important because you can adjust a coil over lower etc, however you loose valuable shock length when in compression, so you really want to measure at ride height, then tune 1/4 inch here or there.

remember that valving is key so if you get your own shocks it would be in your best interest to buy adjustable, so you can tune the ride, if not buying adjustable it would be worth the money to just buy the koni shocks from dse

Thanx again. I like the adjustable route.
