Take a look at Monroe if you just want OE equivalent shocks.

eBay doesn't have a brand. Just get some KYB GR-2s.

^ I was actually going to make both of those suggestion so I'd say either are good.

I guess just see where you can get the best deal...monroe or KYB. There is a local shop here that sells monroe, and has an extremely good warranty. Warranties can be worth the extra couple of bucks.

KYB is a great brand but more expensive than Monroe.
Either brand great.

There's a local shop by me that sells them...I've never shopped online for them.

I have Dropzone right now...they've been on for a year and the ride quality with the dropzone lowering springs is similar to my friends quality on his skunk2 setup.

I think I payed under 300 for all 4 plus the springs brand new and I'm extremely happy. I was tight on money so I went budget but I'm glad I did. Their coilovers BLOW so steer clear of those.

You can get Monroe or Gabriel dampers from any auto parts stores. For Integras the Monroe shocks are only about $220 a set from AutoZone.
