Recommended Rear shocks

I know this is usually up to the individual, but what do you guys recommend for a good rear shock, I would like something a little stiffer, I have no idea what is on my car now. If you could include brand, price and part# that would be nice. Thanks.

IMO, if you want a good, stiff replacement and don't want to spend a lot of $$$, go with KYB Gas-a-Just. If money is not really an issue, go with Bilstein HD's. Both can be found at: www.shox.com I have bought several shocks from these guys and they have some of the best prices around. They ship worldwide too.

You got the stocks (I checked). How far do you want to take the suspension? If you plan to race the car, I would recommend an adjustable rear shock like the Tokiko Illuminas. Buy good the first time and you're done with it for a long time. If you just want a good ride for normal driving and stuff then go with something like KYB's.

P.S. I still have your stock 1LE springs if you want em. You can keep those Eibachs (I already got different springs). Lemme know.
