need help finding the good shocks

I finally found eibach springs for my 99' CL 3.0 but I don't want to use the stock shocks because they will probably blow within a month. I'm doing all of this on a delivery guys salary so I don't have much money to spend. Can someone give me help on finding good shocks for cheap?

A lot of people on here use KYB AGX, you could save some money and get some KYB GR-2's

agreed with what chris said. the gr2s will be the most economical of all. if you dont mind paying a little more, then the agx, tokico blues, or even bilsteins would be great.

i would honestly buy shocks that can handle the drop you are going for. for example, the gr2s and even the agx are not suitable for more than 1.5 to 1.75 in drops. anything lower and i would look into another shock.

what eibach springs are you currently interested in

go with Koni yellows. at least you have a lifetime warranty on the shocks.

I emailed KYB about the shocks and they said all the shocks they make can only handle a 1 inch drop. I emailed Tokico about there Illumina 5-way adjustable shocks.
