Without knowing the spring rates, it's hard to recommend a good set of shocks that will work properly with them.

Were you looking at these?

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-720104/

They don't really provide any information, except that they're progressive and offer a 1"-1.5" drop. It seems that there would be better alternatives out there....
