Default What shocks for an 00Si with Skunk2 Coilovers?

The stock shocks on my 00Si are gone and The coilovers still look like new. Looking to upgrade and wanted to know ppls opinions on the best bang for your buck shocks that will work good with the skunk 2 coilovers? Not looking to spend tons of cash, but the car does sit pretty low now and Id like to keep it that way if that makes alot opf diff

Koni's with the Skunk2 adapters. They do cost a pretty penny though. If you plan to keep this car for a while it's worth it.

Koni's +1 Have this combo myself.

If you wanna ride "pretty low" you'll have to consider (diy) extended top hats up front, Koni Yellows will bottom on too low setups.

Note on the "pretty penny": apparently you (in the US) can get them for $450, here in Europe it's €500 (for front & rear Yellows, but for this price we can get just as well the Sport Kit).

or you can just get ground control top hats and not worry about fabbing your own top hats. Tokico blues are cheap and ride pretty good even when low and skunk2 coilovers will fit on them

Or you can save $150 on GC top hats (which even won't get you spring isolators) and DIY.

Tokico blues are cheap so no surprise that Koni Y are way out better.
