Need new shocks

My rear passenger side shock is broken so I'm going to replace both rear shocks. Just wondering if there's a real difference between different shocks out there and which ones I should get for spirited driving for under $50/ea. Thanks.

dude... if $130 is too much for struts, then you might wanna consider trading in the maxima for a bicycle cause you're gonna **** if you ever have to replace a transmission or have AC work done.... or take it to a shop to have anything fixed. By doing the struts yourself you are prolly saving 4-500 bucks, don't cheap out and buy crappy ones and then have to replace it all again in a few months.
