need new shocks . . . reccomendations?
ok i'll start with my mods so everyone knows its not on stock suspension lol i have the eibach prokit with revalved bilstiens from strano with an adjustable panhardrod with non adjustable LCA's and a strut tower brace. with that being said, i've put almost 75,000-85,000 miles on the springs and shocks in 3 years . . . yeah i drive the **** outta my car lol i don't hit the drag strip as much as i'd like to and i don't autoX like i was hoping to, but since it's lowered i need a shock that will be good but wont break the bank (thank God i have the rest lol)

Hello
I would suggest going with an adjustable shock. Now I do understand that you don't want a set that will break the bank but in the end you will not be disappointed. Below is a example of what UMI Performance has to offer as far as adjustable shocks.

If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I will be more than glad to help!
Thanks

There are a lot of choices. Few great ones. Koni's of course.... KYB AGX's which are adjustable. A new set of Bilstein's. Tokico, but they aren't much less than AGX's and not adjustable....
