Default Lowered with DMS springs, time for new shocks

Well it's been almost a year since I installed DMS springs. I kept the stock shocks hoping I could get by. They held up pretty good for the most part until lately. The ride is getting pretty rough. Which shocks do you all recommend I go with?

Revalved Bilstiens if you want to go cheap. Konis or KYBs if you want to get serious.

Are those only available throuh Strano? Doesn't he revalve them specifically for the pro-kit? Been out of the game for a few months excuse my ignorance if I'm off.

SLP revalves the Bilsteins. Other people might as well. You can usually find a set for just around $400.

just bilstein hd. no revalves, don't worry about that. no need to spend the extra $200 on a revalve job you'll never see the effects of.

Just sounds like you just want shocks , so probably go with the cheapest that you can find , that might be KYB, Gabriel , or Bilstein, .

No, I just don't want shocks. I replaced the back ones with Monroe's in a emergency and those won't cut it. I want a nice ride. Not too concerned with carving corners or anything, though.
