One of the sponsors around here has a pretty good package deal on all four. I forget who. I'm sure they'll chime in soon.

Strano, UMI, BMR are the only 3 names you need to know.

I'd completely recommend Konis but if you don't want to pay for them then I'd ask Sam Strano. He was recommending KYB AGX for aftermarket springs as an alternative for a while, but his recommendations often change after trying new setups and so forth. Bilsteins are out again, but I'm not sure if they are ever recommended for lowering springs.

We offer the Tokico HP Series. The Tokico's are valved to increase dampning under higher piston speeds. They are a very good affordable shock. Give us a call for pricing.
