Looking to buy some shocks!

Im in the market to buy some shocks here pretty soon and not sure what to get. I really dont need anything to expensive but something that will benefit me when I am at the track. The main reason Im wanting new shocks is cause I had my car lowered and then I put my factory springs back on it and didnt replace my shocks so now they are worn out. Im not sure if I should replace my fronts and rears or just the rears since thats the worn out ones. Anyways, what would you guys suggest and what are the prices on the shocks?

Try Shox.com . When I bought my Bilstein HD's they were considerably cheaper than anyone else.

They don't have prices listed, but all you have to do is fill out a quote request and get the price back pretty fast.

Shox.com was higher on the KYB AGX's than Summit but was cheaper than Thunder Racing on the Bilsteins.

i got my bilsteins from truckperformance.com They are the biggest bilstein dealer in the us, they are more like a distributor, but they were cheaper than sam stranos who is usually the cheapest. They were like 308 for all four. Handling improved monumentally. I dont know about benefits at the track. prolly hal's for the track, but they are like 600

Can I just get the Hal's up front and use stockers in the rears?

You could, but it might be more beneficial to do the opposite if you are only buying a pair.

So if Im only buying a pair get the adjustable ones for the rears and leave stockers up front?
