Default Shocks

i might be in the wrong forum, but i was just trying to see which shocks i could use..
i have stock shocks on dropzone coilovers, so im trying to get different shocks to use with the dropzones and get different coilovers in a few months.
so what are some good shocks??
i was thinking Skunk2, Tokico Illuminas etc..
TIA

If you are going for different coilovers in a few months I would pick up some Koni's or Tokico's and go with GC coilovers or even some H&R springs.

KYB AGX's are nice, but please dont put them on Skunk2's. The ride quality is horrible for a DD... really really bumpy. My back is stills screaming.

Skunk2's in general have stiff spring rates. You can find Illumina's and AGX's on ebay for a good price. You maybe also want to check the suspension sponsor marketplace
