RE: shocks/struts
Since it appears by your options that you are on a budget I would recommend the OE Mach1 Tokico's.
Monroe shocks are junk, they are more suited for a Buick or Crown Vic.

RE: shocks/struts
what's the difference between the mach 1 OEs ($236+40 s/h on ebay) and the blue tokico gas shocks(unadjustable):$257 w/free s/h on ebay?

RE: shocks/struts
Whats wrong with the Monroe shocks? I've heard nothing but good things about their Sensatrac line. They are better then stock (at least). Not race quality, but good for a daily driver.

RE: shocks/struts
I have Tokico blue struts on the front, blue shocks on the back and KYB quad shocks. No complaints here either.

RE: shocks/struts
to answer both, no...you do not need c/c plates to run your application
as for the shocks/struts........kyb gas adjustables are a good choice for someone on a budget
(i feel your pain! lol)
they run from 300-400 from what i have seen but i bet on ebay you can find them cheaper
my roomate has those on his 97 gt and loves them
