Short answer no, long answer yes. You don't NEED aftermarket shocks. You will kill your stock shocks soon after you change to GC's unless you don't drop the car. Then you will have to take apart the shocks/coils twice...I'd save up and do them both at the same time...much easier.

the best you can get are either the KONIs or KYB AGX. they are both adjustable so yes, they will make them handle better
