don't use stock replacements. koni's if it all possible, otherwise bilsteins. personally wouldn't go with anything cheaper than that.

nooooooooo complete wrong direction. those are drag shocks. koni sa's would be ideal, slp bilsteins would be the cheaper/less good (but still decent) solution.

Don't use the stock shocks. Get some Koni's or Bilstein. Man do I sense a imposter?
