I just got the RB suspension package with springs and sway bars. Which shocks/struts should i get to compliment this setup? The koni's are SUPER way too much, I found a place where i could get tokico hp'a all the way around for about $200, KYB's are about 120, or Gabriels. what do you all use? any suggestions would be great.

I've been using KYB's all the way around. No problems. Not too stiff. You can get through British Victoria for around $180 or order them from Advance Auto.
