Al, I run Koni Yellows on all 4 corners. The fronts, you just need to pop the cone off the strut tower and they give you a knob that fits right on there...and voila, adjustable in the car. The rears however, the tops need to be unbolted from the car. You could always run yellows in the front and reds in the rear (reds are the non-adjustable koni)... Keep in mind when looking at price...Koni's come with a lifetime warranty. However, Bilstein HDs are awesome as well.

I also run the eibach pro kit on my car. Yes it handles well, but I have next to no ground clearance. Probably 3-4 inches at its lowest spot. It makes for a real pain in the ass putting the lift arm under the passenger floor, I have to jack up the front end. If your springs are sagging, eibachs might not make any difference besides making it handle better, as they only really drop the front an inch over a factory iroc spring (rears maybe half inch). If you want a set of iroc springs, I have one with about 60k on it. They are slightly lower and have a heavier rating than your Z28 spring.

All in all, the car has very nice road manners with koni yellows/eibachs.
