Hey guys I'm on a tight budget (aren't we all lol) and I need to replace my OE Shocks. I would like somethin that will improve handling but not costly, i gotta keep the price down. Any suggestions?

KYB GR-2's are probably the best choice for budget tuning.

Yeah the GR2s are nice. Bit firmer than stock. Nothing too crazy. However I hope the rest of your suspension parts are in good condition. Replacing my shocks/struts just showed me that I needed to fix all the other worn out stuff on my suspension.

Check Nopionline or Summit Racing, I think you can find the GR-2's cheaper there.

The Gr-2's are the best if you're on a budget. I dropped my car last Oct and replaced the shocks as well and I have no complaints.
