Default best shocks

Koni ''Red'' Shocks ::: KONIs are not the average shock absorber, they feature a number of standards that make them unique:

KONIs are adjustable, which means that you can influence the behavior of the car to meet your preferences (ride comfort, handling balance, etc.). It also means that wear can be compensated. They are designed for a specific car or even special driving conditions. A KONI is not a simple copy of the original but a tailor made design to get the best handling and ride characteristics from the vehicle.
KONIs improve the ride and handling of your car. The damping characteristics are developed for each particular application. Koni's specialists keep on testing and modifying until they are convinced they reached the optimum in both handling and comfort.

<hr> KYB AGX Adjustable ::
AGX Adjustable Gas Shocks and Strut Cartridges are for the driving enthusiast who owns a sports compact, sports coupe or sports car. KYB AGX shock absorbers allow easy adjustment of the shock damping rate to tune the vehicle’s performance to meet the needs of the street, strip or track. KYB AGX Adjustable Gas shock absorbers are externally adjustable, so there is no need to disconnect or remove anything to change settings. Depending on the vehicle’s configuration, the damping rate is selected with an external **** on the side of the shock body or through a screwdriver inserted into a slot at the top of the strut’s piston rod. The KYB AGX shock absorber’s single damping adjustment changes the shock’s compression and rebound resistance at once. When you want adjustable high performance control, you want KYB AGX Adjustable Gas shock absorbers.

Penske only makes racing shocks for Honda's for IRL and F1.

JIC makes the best shocks/dampers for Honda's. Zeal is a close second. Moton is the sh*t but I don't think spending 7k on a set is worth it.
