My shocks are bad on the back...I know about the Roush springs, but I'm waiting to get shocks first. What is recommended and where should I get them from?

i have the monroe shocks but you can get more expensive ones that handle better. the total cost of the shocks was about 150$$ front and back. Also i would get silicon spray for you spring isolators it will bring them back to life.
