Best struts/shocks for a good ride (money is an issue)

My camaro rides like a tank. I want to get new front and rear shocks or struts, not sure which i need, and was wondering which would give me a good smoother ride, but not cost an arm and a leg? thanks

For the money, it's hard to beat the KYB's.
They're softer than the race stuff, but are 100%
better than the stockers.Fronts are about $50 each and rears about $25.Summit mail order or local prices about the same.

Well, I just ordered (and recieved in only one day ) the rear shocks. I went with what you recommended and plan on putting them in as soon as I can get my beater car back from the shop. Thanks guys.
