Default What are some good shocks for H&R Race springs?

I am looking into getting some race springs for my sedan and was wondering what is a good shock? I won't be racing or anything. It's just my daily driver. I don't want to spend over 400 if that is possible. Thanks for any insight.

Are the springs good for daily driving? So i should probably try to go for a shock with adjustability right?

Depends on your version of "good". The H&R Race springs are very low, and you will bounce around like crazy and have very little suspension travel. Good shocks can help, but you will never have anything bettter than your ride quality at stock height.

I have H & R race springs and I love the stance but hate the stiff/bumpiness. IT SUCKS. I am buying some custom rate GC's for my koni yellows.
