Well without going to in to to much depth .. you need either Koni's or Bilstein's

BUT just call / contact Sam Strano and he'll sell you the right equipment ...

I guess you will need to ask yourself one question. Will you ever race your car or auto cross? If you plan on autocrossing then save up for the expensive ones! my car never sees the track. Heck it almost never sees the road so I didn't see the point in spending 1500.00 for shocks! Oh well. Good website though! Whatever you do, do not get the gabriel autozone or checker shocks. I have NEVER had a good shock with the name gabriel on it. They seriously are garbage!
