Default 1000 to spend help me deside what brands

Looks like you picked the correct stuff. THough the prices seem high.

i was going to shop around a little more, and i'm trying to avoid ebay[:@]... but i don't realy know what this stuff usualy sells for so i figured i would post some links to what i was looking at and see what every one thought. if any one has a site that sells any of the items cheaper please let me know, and what shocks would you think are better i believe they are only 20-30 dollars difference

Are the black and red ones really Tokicos? I have never seen blak & red Tokicos.

KYB is another brand...

I dunno' a lot about each specific brand myself. But I was looking for some similar shocks, but for my 300ZX. And the prices werent that high.

These I think are higher end than what you have listed. And $89 (a piece though). KYB's with side dials!

UPR Products and Maximimum Motorsports are good quality places to look, a lot of suspension stuff on ebay is junk, take the quality angle not the quantity angle

the ebay links where more for a reference rather than a place to buy things... any way anyone know a good place to buy these from for a decent price? and no one had suggested a shock yet
