What Shocks Should I Get?
My car needs shocks, but I have no clue which ones to get. This car is a daily driver and I don't want to go broke, anyone have any suggestions?

Everyone will recommend either Koni's or Bilsteins. I love my adjustable Koni Reds.

in order of cost from least to most:
KYB
Koni
Hal
Lamb
thats also in order from worst to best
if you want a good street/strip shock, Hal is the way to go. Externally adjustable, 12 way adjustability. Very well made. Lifetime warrenty. rebuildable. Helped me drop .4 off my ET. Koni's are nice if u dont mind taking them off the car to adjust them. IF your going pro-stock, then run Lamb
