i would go with KYB's, you can get a set of shocks and struts for only 160 from summit. Do a search on the boards and you will find that they arnt all that bad and that a lot of people are happy with them. Im planning on installing them when i get my Pro Kit in the summer.

I have the pro kit with KYB shocks & struts. I have had no problems with them.
My only issues were with the springs. I have a V-6 right now and the springs raised the car higher than stock ride height. We had to cut a 1/2 coil off the front to level it out with the back. We are letting them settle now to see if I need to cut more off. Sadly the car still sits at stock height right now. Were are afraid I will have probs if we cut too much more before the V-8 goes in.
We will see.

I have a set of KYB GR2s. They were definately an improvement over the factory original ones they replaced. I've still got the the factory orginal springs on it too, and the car handles great in spite of the old springs. But I have no complaints about my KYBs. Plus the set only cost me about $130 from Summit.
