Which shocks?

It's time for new shocks, but I'm not sure which manufacturer to use. I was told to get Bilstein shocks. My ride is stock. Can anyone help me decide which to use? Thanks in advance.

I'm with the others in this bunch ...Billsteins are a bit more expensive than some of the alternatives, but as you can see from the posts ..there is value there because they do what they say and do it well. I've only got two on so far, and I'm feeling pretty good about my purchase.

If I had to do it again, I would have just bought them without all the pondering.

Thanks for the responses. Who gives the best deal on them, internet or auto supply store? Thanks again.

I bought mine from Vette Brake and Parts (vbandp.com) as part of a larger kit of stuff. They are often running discounts for forum members, and I think they have a deal when you buy 4 at once (although I cannt confirm that).

You may find it cheaper elsewhere, but I knew the guys at VB&P could answer my questions, too ...so I sent them my business.
