I've got Hotchkis adjustable for everything on my car and its absolutely great. No squeaks and being able to adjust for autoX and daily driving is about the best thing about them.

If you wanna save a hundred bucks just get the Koni 4/3's. They are every bit as good as 4/4's only the rears are not on car adjustable.
I kinda wish I had done that now. Unless you AutoX you prolly will end up setting them where you like them and leave them there.......

Pretty much everybody on here gets a boner for Konis (for good reason, they're good shocks, just about 2x as much as some others that are still good). Get pretty much anything else adjustable and people will tell you that you should have gone with Konis every 5 minutes...
As far as a non-adjustable, Sam Strano has some re-valved bilstiens that are pretty damn good.

Thank you for the information. I needed to know because the Monroe Sensa track I have on my squeak, and vibrate. I hate that. It was quieter with the factory shocks on lol. but yea. I will look forward into getting me some konis then. I dont want to lower my car. I just want to give it a mean offset look, a beefy look if you know what I mean.
thanks again for the information. any adds on, please let me know. =]

How long have you had your current shocks?
Reason I ask is I put KYB GR-2 shocks on my car as I just needed something to replace the long dead decrapons with 122K miles on them. At first, I thought I made a mistake because it rode extremely rough like I had solid rods instead of shocks in my suspension. But there was a break-in period, and now after a few hundred miles they softened up a tad and now it rides 10x better than the decrapons ever did.

There are things in between dirt cheap and Koni's you know. Tokico, Bilstein, AGX's all run between $360-435/set.
