Need New Shocks........ Options

[Fastbird]

After two years on the Tein S-Tech springs, the shocks on our car are rattling like a mofo going over bumps now. I initially thought it was a tie rod end or a ball joint, but I had the car on a lift and everything checked out fine. Anyway.....

I was initially going to go with Bilstein shocks/struts, but they're only available in the touring for stock ride height. So I'm back to the drawing board here. I'm looking for a performance minded shock that's meant for lowered cars, and I'm not coming up with a whole lot.

Coil Overs are NOT an option right now. Too much money. So, what are you guys using?

Many people side with the KYB gas shocks/struts. They work well with the height the tein springs provide. Just make sure in advance if your fronts are rebuildables or sealed before you go out and purchase yourself a set.

That's what I've been racking my brain over. It's been almost two years since I lowered the car and I can't remember for the life of me what the struts looked like. Any chance of telling which one I have from this pic?

koni's FTW! adjustable and comfy. I don't have them on my celi but a friend has them on his scooby and i like the ride.

Admittedly, I saw the Koni's, but for $600 for a set (for the pricing that I have found), I'd hold off and go with coil overs after a little while longer.
