Default What shocks for DMS springs

I just ordered a set dms lowering springs and figured I might as well swap out the stock shocks while im doing the springs. I think my only options are really going with the tokico shocks, which dms recommended to me, or the kyb agx's. I do not want to spend $800 or more on a set of koni's so please do not recommend them to me. I've had a set before and im not going to spend that much again. I am not going to spend more than $500 on a set of shocks. MY car does not need to handle the best, its not a road race car, I just want the car to be lowered for looks and i want the carto handle just better than stock.

Does anyone know the rates on these springs? Do you need a specific shock part number?

Wow, and I thought they were out of business. Edit, I'm quite sure they're gone.

I think someone else took it over because when i called to get my tracking number i heard the guy in background as for the shipping invoices from friday for the dynamic orders. And the charge on my CC was from granatelli motorsports. So im not sure. Also the guy on the phone told me the rates were 325-550 and 90-160. Dont know if they changed them or if he didnt know.

But I've had an absolutely horrible time dealing with them So i HIGHLY recommend not ordering from. Is there a forum for posting non-sponsor feedback?
