Best shocks to go with lowering springs?

Im looking to get an Eibach pro kit. I need to know what kind of shocks to get to go along with these to make the car handle better. Is there another type of lowering spring I can get for under $200 that will handle better than the pro kit. I dont want to go lower than 1.5 inches lower than stock. Thanks for the help.

You have a really good set of springs for handling, so I wouldn't worry about finding another set just now. As for shocks/struts, the big names going around on this board are Bilstein HD and Koni reds as very good combos with the Pro-Kits.

I would go with Koni yellows. That is what I did.

it really depends on what you want....if you want to take the corners the best that you can get the koni yellows but remember with those the ride will be really harsh and you will have no weight transfer for striaght line traction. The bilsteins are prolly the best all around shocks/struts that you can ge(i just put mine on with the pro-kit and wow those handle) they will deftinaly handle a whole lot better then stock and still give you some weight transfer for stright line traction. Those are basicly the two best choices that you have fot the high dollar market. If you want to go cheaper then prolly the KYB AGX would prolly be your choice and even those would be a lot better then stock.
