Bilstein shocks are the most popular. The stock shocks (KYB) work too, but will fail sooner, so if you have the cash get a set of bilsteins. Koni Yellow shocks are great if you are really into handling and don't mind the price premium

Ride the stockers til the wheels fall off, HA.. not literally. I had the stockers (KYB) on for approx 45k miles with H&R's, when it was time to replace, i went right back with KYB's.

For those who are lowered on the same springs, how is the ride quality the stock set up.

Very good, handling improved a lot (honest, even though I am selling mine lol)

It is perfect with the h&r (-1.5 on each side)
