Replacement shocks?

ok, i have a 95 that im almost positive still has the original shocks. I feel every bump i go over. i want to replace the shocks with something better and smoother. What should I get and where? i feel confident i can install them myself because ive done alot to my car myself, but i have never really had time to mess with the suspension

I got some bilsteins, not too many people here care for them, i personally think they're freaking awesome with eibachs sportlines and BMR arms. Visit some of the sellers here, they're everywhere and at reasonable good prices.....sometimes.

What places have a full set of bilstein HDs in stock? I thought they were still on national backorder?

Most people will say koni, but theres no way I could see justifying spending that much on just a suitable shock to replace worn stock ones.

It took some time krispy, mine came in after I placed in order 3 months. The on-line store told me they had them, then they told they didn't, then they told me that bilstein has to start on old plant manufacturing line to make them again, and all this mess, they offered and begged me to take my money back, this actually wanted me to have these shocks even more!
