I installed KYB's.
A lot of guys go the extra $ and get Bilstein's.

Shocks are all about your personal driving style. How do you drive your car and how do you want it to react? If it's a cruiser, most standard shocks will do including the AC Delco shocks, Monroes, and KYB GR-2's. If you are going to be driving aggressively you need to put a little thought into your selection and spend more money. Spirited street driving calls for KYB GasAJust, Bilstien HD's, or something similar. Anything involving track time would call for something adjustable like Koni, Edelbrock, or QA1's.
