Default Shocks/struts suggestions...

I will be replacing my stock springs with FRPP C springs and have decided to replace the shocks and struts while im at it. I'm kind of on a budget and was wondering what shocks/struts you guys recommend. How are konis? kyb? thanks.

The KYB AGX's look pretty expensive. How are the GR-2's? I don't have a lot of money right now and I'm trying to find something within reason...

Cheap??! I'm looking on summit and it will cost me about $420 to replace the 2 front struts and 2 rear shocks. $89 for each shock and $119 for each strut? I'm not too familiar with the prices of suspension mods but that doesn't seem very cheap to me.
