Shocks/Struts for '91 GTA ?

Hey guys,
What shocks/struts should I put on my '91 GTA. 140k miles and its due. Need something good, not necesarily 1LE or road racing ones, but something decent and fairly cheap. I've heard about Monroe gas ones, but am not sure. Also, where can I get them?? Thanks!

Get KYB's. They work quite well, and are very reasonably priced. About $50 ea for the front struts and $30 ea for the rear shocks.

You can order them from Summit Racking (1-800-230-3030). I think I paid $152 for all four with shipping.

Order them anywhere just about. Non-adjustable for that price. Adjustables are double that.

KYB sells some adj ones called the AGX. www.tirerack.com sells them. I believe they are about the cheapest adj ones avail.
