Question Need some help picking out shocks

Hey all so my strange 12 bolt just came in today along with my UMI LCAs and Panhard bar and im in need of some new rear shocks. The problem is ive searched up and down to figure out what would be best but I still cant figure it out. Im on a budget since everything else just cost a lot so koni's are out of the question. Im looking to spend no more than 200$ for both rear shocks but cant decide. Im still running stock springs which will one day get replaced but there gonna have to do for now. Just looking for some help. Thanks
By the way this is all for a 95 trans am

What are you doing with the car? If you are drag racing, no advice here.

But if you are just looking to get around, I put in Bilstein shocks all around a couple of months ago and I love 'em.

I have the SPL Bilstiens with the SLP springs. I think they are a little rougher than the regular HD's. Great all around shock for the $.

For your price range either the Bilsteins or the Tokicos HPs would work fine for you.

We carry the Tokico HPs in stock and have always worked well for us in the past.

Additional information regarding Tokico HPs along with other BMR products can be found HERE
