Default restoring height

I'm thinking of restoring the height of my 98 accord. What brand shocks do you suggest? Should I get the basic Honda shocks, or look more in to performance as well?

im assuming you have lowering springs in there right now, so along with OEM or OEM replacement struts and shocks you will also need OEM springs. the springs you can get brand new threw honda or maybe find some on another accord at a junk yard, springs usually last a very long time so buying used shouldnt be too big of a problem but i would still recomend trying to get it off a car with low mileage to avoid old srpings that have started to sag due to age. as far as selection fo shocks, you cant go wrong buying OEM honda, but it probably isnt going to be cheap (i dont know how much OEM shocks from honda cost ), but for a similiar price or cheaper you can get some KYB GR-2 which are real great quality OEM strut/shock replacements. or if your looking to save some money than you can get some Gabriel or Monroe brand aftermarket struts/shocks at any auto aprts store for about $70-100 per strut and abount $50 per shock.
