Please don't use GasAJust shocks with Hotchkis springs. I did for a few thousand miles and it rode like a boat.
I have Koni SA shocks and I love them. Some people balk at spending $800+ on shocks, but when you figure how long shocks last vs. how much you'll likely spend on tires over the same timeframe, it's worth it.

I have custom valved aluminum bodied Bilstien racing shocks on the front and Koni SAs on the rear. Can't argue with going big on shocks when tenths of a second count on a race track.
For a street car, Bilstein HDs are a fantastic, long lived shock and very affordable. The HDs are so far beyond what came stock.

I got Bilsteins, and they turned my car into a whole new animal. I love them. I'm using stock springs, though.
