If you're just looking for a shock to mate those with you can get

KYB AGX
Illuminas
Koni yellows

For the 3 shocks I recommend. They're all adjustable, the illumina and koni come with a lifetime warranty, and all even more harsh shock travel than cheaper shocks.

You could try the new skunk2 setup, but it's new and not many people have bought/reviewed it yet. And it's not adjustable and is expensive for what it is IMO.

They you'll want a rear subrame brace, rear sway, lower control arms, front strut tower, front sway, etc etc.

Browse the suspension forum. You can learn a lot in about 15 minutes there.

My old car had H&R race and illuminas. Made me feel like I had a mini-porsche.

Though I'm sure koni would have been nice/nicer

Koni doesn't make a shock in a blue color.

They have the koni-reds, the OE replacement, and the Yellow performance shock.
