Default SHOCKS!!! HELP ASAP

What are the best aftermarket shocks to install on my ride to compliment the control arms? Im thinking of buying a new set seeing as how im still on the stockers. Price would be handy also.

Well, I'm old school and cheap so I'd say:
90/10 lakewoods for the front $85 each
50/50 lakewoods for the back $35 each

The best are Koni's but are kinda expensive. They run anywhere from $800 to $950 for the set.
Or you can get Bilstein's for around $600 to $700. They both are pretty expensive but they are the
best. I have Koni's and I love them.
