What shocks to go with?
I got a 96 and its lowered about 2" my shocks are worn out and I need to get new ones. Anyone have any suggestions on what to get? This isn't my main car so im not trying to put on the most expensive either, I just want a better ride.

KYB makes economy and enhanced versions for a decent price, the cheap monroe and sensatrac stuff does not hold up well. Bilsteins are over priced and over rated.

Cool I had KYB's in mind their site calls for kg5458 in the front and kg5507 in the back, was thinking of getting those heard anything on them. They are priced reasonably about $40 each

Fronts are easy....rears take a while longer due to the long reach trying to hold the nut while using the ratchet with extensions to remove. KYB's are slotted so installing is easier by starting one nut and bolt then sliding on one end of the shock and starting the other nut and bolt.
