First if you have money buy some afcos, strange or qa1's, if not then just buy some kyb agx and they will suffice just fine. That goes with front and rears.

Hey:

Bilstien, DA Koni, or Alloy Adj Rem Reservoir Penske are all real good, not cheap. AFCO, Strange or QA1s are real good as well.
Make a choice and spend your cash can't lose with any.

What are your goals for the car and its suspension? Drag? Street? Road Course? Koni is the best choice for Street use and Road Course/AutoX use, but they are also going to cost you about $1,000 once it's all said and done. Strange/QA1/AFCO all those are more strait line oriented (although an adjustable shock still has a wide range of tuning options), with the guys like Bilstiens and Tociko being improvements over stock but not really being good at anything
