Default Shocks and Springs

I am about to upgrade my shocks because I'm needing it since my car bounces up and down on small hills and such...

What are some suggestions on shocks? I mean I had Tokico Blues on my old EK and it rode nice and smooth.....

Anyone have suggestions? My car is lowered on Neuspeed springs.

thanks for the help

Haven't used them personally, however I've heard KYB agx adjustable shocks and a good quality lowering spring are a great combo.

illimunas are pretty popular.

if you are looking to go a little cheaper i would go with kyb agx with h&r sport or race springs, depending on the drop you want.

my friend has that on his teg and loves it, it is a pretty popular combo which i plan on using myself

Whats the difference in drop of the sport/race springs? I'm starting to think the shocks in my omnipower coilovers are shot and i think i'm gonna switch to an adjustable shock/spring setup. I don't want to drop the car more than an inch and a half to two inches though.

Anything is better than what you have now. KYB, Koni, etc, its just a matter of how much money you have to spend. Personally id go with the koni's.

i have them on the yellows, they ride pretty nice, obviously stiffer than s-techs or similar springs though.
