I think my stock shocks are shot. I have a h&r 2 inch spring, what do you guys recommend for a aftermarket shocks? i know koni, agx is around i had tociko in the past but did not like it because it was worst than my stock. I just want a decent one that will last and still sporty, i dont do any track or any driving activities. thanks:mcool:

Koni yellows or bilstein sports. There is no substitute.

Koni's are the inserts, which look like a bitch to install. Bilsteins are the whole shock, you just gotta put your springs and tophats on and you're good to go. Only legit place I know that carries bilsteins is tirerack.com. It's around $800 for all four shocks, only about $100 more than koni's without having to deal with cutting up your stock shock. Once they go out, it's only $65 each shock to get them revalved by bilstein. Koni charges around $100 each shock to get them revalved. I'm not knocking koni, they make great shocks but bilsteins are just as good if not better and less of a pain to install and revalve.

Yes, KYB GR-2's, they are stock replacement shocks and won't do well with your 2" drop.
