Are shocks a good mod?

The car is pretty moded at this point and I want to look into the little stuff now. I really dont know all that much about shocks and any benefit or brand worth buying.

Anyone willing to share some insight?

I am enjoying the HD Bilsteins. A definite improvement over the DeCarbons.

280-320 bucks depending on who u buy them from.
Yeah they are a good mod. Things like brakes and shock upgrades compliment the car so nicely.. Nothing like cruising at 90 and a semi truck tire comes flying at you... At that moment you will then thank god for a good handling car.
Bilstein HD's and pick up a used front 32 or 35mm sway bar.
