Most people like using the KYB GR2's, they are inexpensive and give a stock like ride. If your looking for something a little sportier you could always go with the Koni Yellow's but they are pretty expensive and give a much more agressive ride.

Try about $159 each. Running you about $636 not including tax or shipping.  It's expensive man...if you're not planning on doing autox'ing or hard cornering on your ride, then KYB's would probably be what you're looking for? |

The KYB setup will run you under $200 for the struts, but then you will probably want to get the boots and mounts which is about another $100. |

If you are looking to go 2" or lower there is a guy in south Florida that shortens sruts with shortens shocks. You can get a 2" drop and have a stock ride The price is anywhere from $300-$600 it depends on shipping& parts.
PM me if you want a number for this guy(steven wright)??? for coil over only! This post has been edited by Punch: Jun 15, 2004 - 10:30 PM |

But even if you shorten your shocks your coilovers are still gonna make your ride bouncy as hell, maybe not bad at 2" but it you go more than that it won't make that big of a difference. |

The best shock out there is the koni sport (yellow) for our car. If you look on groupbuycenter.com you can get a set of them for 525 or so shipped. Thats how I got mine, or you could look on ebay for them. But I have the sports and I love them. I loosen them up for long interstate drives and its real smooth but you loose some of your handling that you were use to driving with.
