Koni are good shocks I have them on my car. The double adjustable to be exact they have big white knob on top that you can adjust for track or street use....They do cost $450 a pair...but I am extremely happy with the struts and shocks from koni

Tokicos, Konis, eibach, and some say bilstein and QA1's... your best money bet is an adjustable, so if you dont like the ride quality you can change it.
