Need advice on upgrading suspension

I have Eibach springs installed. I need a good shock. I am always hitting hard when I hit bumps. I need a good cheap shock to withstand. The manufactured shock is compressed too much to work effectively with the Eibach springs. Will take and considerations seriously. Thanks

KYB Gr-2's are pretty good for the price. You can get them for like $220.00 shipped from www.foreignautoparts.cc

Tokico Blues are a little more expensive and I think a bit better, they cost about $300.00 and I have them and never had a problem so far.

KONI are the most expensive shock for us. They cost around $500.00 I think, but I only heard great things about them.

You can also try www.shox.com they sell most of this stuff.

Anything less than Konis and you won't be satisfied.

I have KYB on my '89, I had Tokico/Eibach on my '93 and my '92SE will get Eibach/Koni. The KYBs are like stock and the Tok's don't last with a drop.
