Bilstein revalves or Konis, contact Sam Strano. You say you're on a budget and if that's true then go for cheap shocks on stock springs

Dont mess around with KYB sssun. Save up alittle longer for the Koni single adj. yellow struts. Go to www.ws6project.com they have the best deal on them that I've found. $479 I believe, it's steep I know but they are made of a 2 inch drop. Infact I called KYB, Tokico and Bilstein and talked to there Tech department. They all said the most drop there shocks are made for was an 1inch 1/4 and I think they know what they are talking about.

I have Eibach sportlines and I'm planning to go with Koni. I will let you know how it handles once I can afford them.

Must get the revavles(hopefully that will work) Konis would be ideal. I don't know the spring rates of them right off.

Look at about 800 bucks for shocks or I would return to stock springs.
