blues yellows, ,,,,adjustable dampening is worth the extra dollars-
check MrHeelToe www.heeltoeauto.com
I know he added some good sport shocks to the site for lowered springs,
most of us use ~coilovers~ like tein or bilstein or.....

I would get coilovers but can't spend that kind of money right now, I want something that allows me to enjoy a comfortable ride and take some tight turns when needed.
Something that works well with tein h tech,thanks.

put a Cusco lower frame crossbar on it for 80 bucks- thats instant better cornering with no adverse ride effect. Thats all I had for months- on the stock tires and rims too

With those shocks you shouldn't need anything more than tokico HP since the drop isn't huge. They'll eventually wear out the stock shocks over time though. Many people are running h.techs and tanabe NF210's with the blue shocks without problems.

Do yourself a favor and save up till you can get better shocks. Dont settle for something for now. You will thank yourself later.

I got the H-tech, since i know it wasn't going to be a major drop. I got the KYB GR-2...so far so good.

But a lot of people recommend the Tokico HP.

The ride isn't all that bad....I like it. It's a bit firmer than the stock shocks. I went with it because I got it for a decent price. If you have some extra cash you should get something that is made for lowering springs. Cause the GR-2's were meant for OEM replacements. Like i said the drop wasn't major so i went with those.

TOKICO HPs or Iluminas/KONI Yellow if you want damping adjustment. Bilstein is excellent also.
