I would go bilstein's. They are supposed to be great. They are pricey but I talked to maximum motorsports and they recommend them over all other commonly priced shocks/struts. And their easy to convert to a coilnover if you want, and the best shock in the price range for it.

The IX really aren't necessary, but I did love mine when I had them. I run the TR6's now with the blower and they work great. TR5's would be plenty good for NA.
