Koni adjustables if you can afford them. But in reality the stock shocks are just fine till they wear out. Which they will about 10 - 15% faster due to the change in spring rate.

Re: The best shocks for lowered car?

bilstein HDs will be a nite and day differencce over stock.

and teh revalved will probably be noticable above and beyond standard HDs.

considering the hassle of changing the fronts....spend the money once...you won't be dissapointed.

not to mentionn the bilsteins are waranteed for life i think, and can be rebuilt after the wear some
