The Koni SA's (Single-Adjustables). I believe they lower it about a half inch or slightly less.

The Koni sa shocks.If you set them on the lower perch you get app: 3/4" drop.A lot of people do that and the heater hose mod in the rear to get app: 1/2" in the back.That's what I did.Call Sam Strano/Strano performance and talk to him he is the guy to talk to.

www.stranoparts.com shows the set of 4/3 Koni Single Adjustables for $850 (all 4)

I cant imagine why anyone would replace just the front two shocks.
