Default Which shocks to use?

I need to get some new shocks for my 99 TA and was wondering what shocks or suspension kit everyone reccomends. I only drive my car on the street and don't race that much. I would appreciate any suggestions good or bad. Thanks.

For good shocks for general street use (not planning to road race), I'd consider the SLP Bilstiens. I'm guessing that you are running stock springs and such. The more you can tell us about the car, the more we can assist you. What has been done to the car so far?

I am running a stock TA, the only mods that I have done so far is a K&N air filter if that helps.

The SLP Bilstiens will be a nice improvement over stock DeCarbons without being too aggressive. In your case, I'd say that is a good idea.
