Default Need advice on shocks

My 01 TA A4 rear shocks need replacing and I wanna go with an adjustable shock. Nothing expensive but is good and decent price for me DD. I have no other modifications to suspension. I only drag race 3-4 times a year so any ideas? Thanks!

Bilstien. It's non-adjustable but a great handling/built shock for the money.

I am not sure that you can get all three: cheap, good quality, and adjustable. You'll probably have to pick two of those and sacrifice on the third.

Two questions. First, if you have no other suspension modifications and rarely race, why do you need adjustable shocks? Second, what kind of driving do you do?

Well, since I NEED to replace shocks anyway figured I would go adjustable for when I go to the track. It's my DD so all types but mainly down town. SFC and LCA relocations will go in after shocks. So adjustable and cheap then I guess... ideas?

Sounds like you're in the market for KYB AGX.

I Agree, cheap and adjustable. Not as good as Bilstein's or Koni's but decent shock for the money if you HAVE to have an adjustable shock.
