if its just for cruzing any gas shock will be fine, gabrial or monroe or other name brand, i've used them and they work fine and are only like 15$ each at the parts store.

i use the monroe sens-a-trac. they work fine. you don't have to replace the fronts at the same time. but, if the rear are bad, the fronts aren't far behind.

Bilstein is one of the best and they aren't too expensive.

KYBs are real good. Try to get the adjustables, not sure if they make them for thirdgens, but have seen them applied on other cars and they are the best suspension upgrade I've seen value wise.
