      Billstein AK series if you want to do it on the cheap. Koni if you have the money.

      Koni shocks are pretty nice shocks, so are the Bilsteins. Only experience I have had with the koni shock was it was a lil stiff for my car. I prolly picked the wrong shock. If you can get either shock thats tuned for the car and suspension from hotchkis I would go that route. They are both great shocks. JR

      Thanks for the advice guys, as usual I didn't listen...just kidding, I went with the QA1 adjustable, my major decision was...it matched the front, should be fine with the adjustable..
