I chose edelbrocks.
They were cheaper and I have no need for adjustable shocks as i just cruise around town.

I chose QA1's because I like to drag race, auto-cross and daily drive the car.
I dial in the optimal setting for the appropriate venue with the greatest of ease.
I love them. but keep in mind I am a person that likes to tweak the car to set it up according to the application. Some people are happy to use one shock for all purposes. Nothing wrong with that either.

Definatly makes a differance in how the car rides with the differant settings. So far I'm happy with them.

The KYB's Gas-A-Just will give you a nice ride that is firm but not at the same level as the Z51 Bilstein shock and they are only $28 each at Summit Racing.
