OEM Shocks must go...................

What are good shocks to get to replace the OEM Struts(shocks)? I am not planning to drop my car yet. but i think the shocks that come with the car are pretty bad. Anyone with suggestions. Thanks in advance...

If you decide to drop the car in the future, I'd suggest you get Tokico Illuminas or Koni Sports. If you don't plan on lowering your car and want a sporty ride...get the KYB AGX or KYB GR-2's...both are pretty stiff (GR-2's are less so). If you do plan on doing the springs, I'd suggest either Progress or H&R. They have the perfect blend of performance and ride comfort. But yeah, if you don't plan on lowering and still want performance, you should look into SFC's.

Who sells SFCs? I'm interested in a better ride and better handling without lowering the car...will SFCs do the job? If so...what's the best shock to use with them?
