Which rear shocks to go with?

i don't know much about them and was curious which to go with. its a daily driver with not enough money to do tons of performance mods so i don't know where to go with this one. but i sure would like a smoother ride... any help?

*I* would look at the Bilstein HDs, assuming you are not lowered.

Why are you looking for rear shocks only? I highly recommend doing all 4 at once if possible.

Bilstein HDs are designed for stock spring rates and stock spring height.

Something like Koni SA & DA shocks will work for most anything you can throw at it.

Another route would be Sam Strano revalved Bilsteins.
