Im looking to get new shocks for my 6-banger. Im not looking to spend top dollar for the lastest and greatest shocks out there, I just want something better than stock for a good price.

Any sugestions?

go with the stock iroc shocks. they will be stiffer and better valved than the stock shocks for your rs. dont worry about over damping either. they arent THAT stiff.
tire rack has a good selection

yep, kyb's are good.
they transformed my caprice from "riding on a bubble" to "riding on a bubble on rails"
the handling improved about 1000%

when i have money, im going to put some kyb's on my camaro

the ones i got were the gas-a-just line.
they automatically adjust the valving based on the conditions of the road.

Great! But can they survive the horrible pothole & patchwork roads of NY and NJ?

How much work is involved in changing out shocks on these third gens? I've never worked on suspension in my life.

i cant imagine that they wouldnt

well i dont know specifically about third gen camaros, but on my caprice, the rears were as simple as un bolting a bolt on the frame and on the axle, attaching a shock and re-attaching everything.

on the front, you have to contort your arm to fit up on top of the spring perch and manuver it to reach under the lower arms.
the front can be a biotch if you cant reach stuff.

i plan on doing new shocks on the camaro asap, but money is the limiting factor.
