I have heard KYB GR-2s (lower pressure gas shocks) are good, and less harsh than KYB Gas-A-Just. I got mine from NPD, but don't have them in YET. You also need adapter kit if your Camaro uses mono-leaf shock plates.

im very happy with my bilsteins, great control, and they really made a huge improvement over the gas adjusts with my hotchkis springs

if yur looking for big-budget handling for a low-budget price,, the Monroe SensaTrac was my preference. I'm not into the "slammed-low" stance, so removal of the stock-type plain jane shock was a must for me. It's like driving a totally different car...
