Question What shocks do you guys recommend for Vogtland Springs? ('03 Acura CL-S Automatic)

I was going to buy OEM Acura Stock Shocks for the Vogtland Springs (2" Drop). I thought OEM shocks where preferred. But now I'm reading otherwise. Please help cause I'm ready to buy. Thanks..

Koni Yellow it is then. Now besides the Springs and Strut Mount, what else do I need to buy to fully assemble them? Does the Koni's shocks come with anything I'm not going to have to buy? And is OEM Strut Mount and pieces ok to put these babies together? Or what do you guys recommend?

I appreciate everyone's guidance. First time Acura Owner and I'm trying to bulls eye this on the 1st try. I bought her last year('03 Acura CL-S Automatic). I will post pics up on the progress.. Thanks everyone.

You'll want the dust boots and the top hats from the OEM shocks, or to purchase new. I took a spare set of shocks and springs from a 2002 Accord V6 to use as a hardware donor.

Man JarrettLauderdale, you're the man. The go-to guy. You answer my questions specifically and direct. Straight to the point. A super thank you.

What I'm doing with my Koni Yellows are New Shock Mounts, Dust Boots and Top Hats. All OEM.
