Avoid the KYBs, the Tokicos are OK, the Konis are the highest quality.

You should be able to get the Konis for less than $600 shipped -- try shox.com and tirerack.com

I'm running them with Tokico's without any issues. However, if you ever plan to do any real tracking, Koni's are a better fit as you can have them revalved.

You can use the stock shocks with those springs, even if they have 100k miles on them. Save your money. Don't just take my word for it, do a search and look for Howard Coleman's posts.
