everyone seems to like the koni and QA1 shocks but theyre really expensive. you need to get soemone who knows more about suspension to help ya on that one. I know what stuff you should have but cant really tell ya much on shocks and springs. however when you get a torque arm and panhard rod, get the adjustable kind
