I bought a set of Bilstein HD shocks and installed Hotchkis 1" drop springs. It set the car down a little bit and lowers the CG as well.. I will rarely take it to the strip, so this set up works for me.

How you set up your suspension depends on what you want the car to do. GM did a good job to give you an all round stock suspension.
