Tokico HP Blues. I have them with my C springs and love them. I paid $272 shipped for all four. They are great all-around and cost effective shocks/struts.

Mines not a DD, but I love my KYB GR2's.
Great ride and I'm dropped 1 1/2".

The Gabriel Ultras (Autozone $55 each up front, $25 each in back) are the same class as the Tokico HP Blue's. They often will have the same part numbers as the Tokico's.

Plus you get a lifetime warranty. I put a set on when I got the car at 30k miles, replaced 'em at 60k miles, and will be getting a new (free) set shortly at 90k miles.

KYB GR2's on the front and KYB Gas-a-just's in the back, u will love them! The gas-a-just's are monotubes so they offer a little better performance than the twin tubes.

2 struts for the front, 2 shocks for the back, and 2 quad shocks (axle dampers) for the rear but only if u think u will need them.

Dont get GR2's, if youre going to get something like that just order some stockers. At least pick up some tokico blues.
