Any recommendation on best shocks?
I'm debating whether if I should get better shocks than the stock on my car since I like how it handles on turns and cornering but I hate that basketball bouncy when it hit on bad pavements. Any recommendation what brand of shocks I should get. I wasn't sure if Blisten or Koni would be good? I'm open to suggestions

Excellent question/point. I too am satisfiled with the overall ride and drive of my car now that I have the FSTB and RSB. My GLE actually remains pretty flat up to the limit of its turanzas. I was very suprised! Like you the only thing I wish for is more bounce control. The shocks just don't seem up to the task. I've scanned the stickies and have not found any real good info on a better replacement shock/strut assembly. I don't want to change the springs or anything else, just the shocks. Oh yea, the front SB could be a little stiffer to improve turn-in.

Another thing that most people do not realize, the Koni is only an insert. You have to modify the factory strut housing to make them work.

EGADS!!! Sounds like it's a pain to do if i wanted to adjust the shocks. As for Koni, I didn't know that you have to modify the strut housing. I was checking out with Koni.com, their website is useless for info.

I have KYB GR-2's on my '03 SE. Perfect strut for what you're looking for. Took the floaty feel out of bumps, and only slightly stiffened the overall ride.
Highly recommend them for anyone wanting to keep a near stock ride without the float over dips/bumps
Part Numbers: 334265, 334266, 341271 x 2 (rears)
I got them new on eBay for $279 (shipped price)

Just replaced factory equipment with a set of kyb gr2's shocks and struts, WOW what a difference in handling, its not the same car. Ride quality is a little rougher but for the difference in body roll and stability on all cornering is great, especially if you like to occasionally (LOL) take it to the limit. I would definitely recommend this mod.
