You can try KYB G2 shocks. Theyre fairly cheap. Tokico blues, AGX, Koni Reds.. $300 is tight for a good set. You could get a used set of OEM for cheaper to last you for now while you save for a better setup.. But going too low isnt really the best choice. It puts strain on all of your suspension parts, will rip your CV boots quickly, and make little pot holes feel like youve been smashed by a red turtle shell in Mario Kart.

Good luck

Spend an extra $100 and get Tokico Illuminas. Great shock absorbers for the money.

Cool cool thanks for the input, but I ran into some dropzone for under 300. Are they any good to go low?
