I have a set of Eibach shocks/struts and haven't had any problems with them. I hear good things about Tokico. But since you want to keep the stock height, I guess the best question would be how much do you want to spend?

+1 on that. I have Koni SRT now. My car is lowered 1 1/4 with Steeda springs. Fair ride, good handling. What are your plans for the car?

For what you intend, I'd say good old stock replacements as cheap as you can get them. Odds are though, you'll find some nicer aftermarket ones for cheaper. The entry level blue Tokiko set is my reccomendation. It will keep that stock set up you're going for.

I've used Strange 10-way shocks and struts for daily driving. They're not much more than parts store replacements, but they work very well, and they're adjustable.
