Good shocks that won't break the bank?

I wanted to know of a good brand to use to replace my worn out shocks. I got the WS6 pakage if that makes a difference.

The car is also lowered 2" all around.

Thanks for the help.

KYB - Best bang for the buck. In my opinion.

I just got my new Bilsteins in from Autozone yesterday, I'm installing them today. They look good, but that's nothing
compared to the feel, which I don't know.

I have Konis, but I don't feel as impressed with them as I think I should be. Maybe after I try some other brands..

If you're on a tight budget, it's hard to beat the KYB's.I've run them for years with no troubles, and my car's lowered almost three inches.
If you can afford better, I'd recommend Bilsteins or Konis.
