i just finished my brake and suspension set up. one of my favorite parts that i used was my koni shocks. so the handling is great, especially compared to stock ones.you should look into it, you will not be dissappointed.

+1 for Konis.

Go w/ Koni Yellows--they ROCK. Pricey, but well-worth the money.

I've been running Koni Yellows for 6 years in my EG. Never had any kind of problems. They are very nice! A little expensive, but that is not a part that you would want to go cheap on.

^^ And if they have lasted for 6 years, I would say that is definitely getting your moneys worth.

The beauty of Konis is that they'll last the life of the car. I have 45k on mine and they're literally as good as new.

I would suggest getting something with a good amout of adjustability, Koni's are a good choice especially with a good progressive rate spring or nice coilover setup.
