Default Please help me pick shocks ...

I received my DMS springs but I can't decide which shocks to go with. I cannot spend more than $400. Which shocks would you guys recommend ?

thanks <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

if you dont mind somewhat of a harsh ride you can go with hd bilstien (sp) or the SLP revalve version, or the strano revalves. eithre way you cant go wrong. And then you have the KYB shocks withc are a good buy also. Take your pick you cant go wrong. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

YOu may want to take your $400 budget and buy a pair of good front shocks and do the rears later when you have some extra cash (they are easy to change). Just my thoughts. (Tokico Illumina 5, or for a few extra $$$, koni single adjustable fronts). It really depends on what you are going to ask of the car. The Bilstiens are great shocks and will fit your budget, so it is not a bad option. GOod Luck!
