As far as I see you only have two choices:
1-replace the OE struts/shocks with something better.
2-cut it all out and create your own (C5/C6, custom, whatever).
I personally preferred to get rid of the struts on my 3rd gen Camaro so I cut it out and put in C5 stuff (didn't hurt that I had a left over Z06 to cut up):
