    Well, as far as performance goes, neither one of them are very good, but they will work if you are on a tight budget.

      yeah, i gotta agree with that... the take off's are your best bet but depending on what you are paying for them, you could almost get a set of bilstein hd's... thats what im running and they work rather well on my car.

        My vote goes to the bilsteins as well. Yes, they're a little pricey, but ride very well and have lifetime replacement on them.

                        If you can't afford anything better, then definetly get a set of take-offs.

                              i would go for the slp take offs. i dont know how much slp charges now for their take offs but i would rather go with the factory specs. rather than monroe. i hear that the factory shocks are probably good for about 30,000 miles (give or take a few thousand miles). i've never used the monroe before, but I'm pretty sure that GM used the decarbon shocks on the Camaro, even though a lot of people might complain a lot about them.
