Default Shock help!

Well the title says it all. I just put the new wheels on my 94 with Eibach springs and BBK caster camber plates. It rides great, but the old shocks are worthless. I want a good set of shocks, so what I want to know is, what are the best shocks (adjustable and non-adjustable) that won't completely brake the bank. Something that will make the car handle better.

Also, is a MSD TFI coil worth the money? Or are there other coils that are better for the money, I am doing a complete tune on this car next week. Thanks.

Do you know the best place to pick those shocks up?

I realize that I don't need the coil yet, but I figured I might as well while I'm changing the fuel filter, cap and rotor, wires, plugs, etc. It can't hurt, so I was wondering if they are any good? I had one on my 91, and it never missed a beat, but I want to get a little feedback on the product.

Ok thanks, yeah over the years I have heard nothing but good things about the tokico and strange shocks, just was wondering if there was anything else that is new and improved. My buddy has the 10 way adjustables on his 89, and he likes them, so I may go that route. Just wanted to weigh my options.
