Default Depends...
It really depends on several factors. What are you using your car for? What do you expect from a shock? How much can you spend? What type of mods/springs do you have on your car?

I would suggest checking out this forum for ideas and maybe call around to get opinions before you make a decision.

I dont have really any mods yet. I just bought the car about a month ago. I have a slp lid and smooth air bellow. I had some eibach lowering springs that came with the car. The old owner took them off because is scraped the ground effects that on the car when you went in and out of some driveways etc.
