Best replacement shocks?

What are some of the best replacement shocks? Mine have 90K on them, so they are bound to be less than perfect, though the car rides and handles excellently still.

You have a lot of options. It really just depends on what you are looking for... BTW, I would suggest doing springs at the same time if you are even considering some aftermarket springs.

I've been using Tokico's for a while and like them a lot. Koni's are a very good choice if you have a little extra money to spend.

I'm in the same boat as you bajaman with 107k. I would like to know the best replacement as well, maintaining the same street drivability now of an R1 or better yet an R2 suspension. What brand shocks and springs are close to it without spending oem prices.
