Tokico's if you don't want to step up to Billstiens. I have them now and its a DD. Not top notch I guess but they are more than capable and I don't have any complaints with them. Just not Billstiens.
 
ahall good look out! i sent him a p.m so that should make the price a little better! i posted these bills shocks in the classified section so maybe someone else can have some use for them. thats really stinks this was the news i did not want to hear before spring comes around u know. oh well time to start stressing again lol. how do you like the shocks? the tokico?
 
I would stay away from those old shocks anyway; shocks go bad over time. I just replaced my rear (leaking Tokicos) shocks. My mechanic got me new FRPP rear shocks for $45 each. I can not imagine any better bang for the buck than that, eh? They were a noticable improvement over the blown Tokicos.
 
the bilstein shocks i have now the ones i bought from ebay are mint. no show of any leaking or damage. the car they came off only had 17k miles i know thats what the guy said but the shock are mint! im gonna try as soon as all thisweather breaks just for sh":t and giggles to see if they will work. if not they will be going on ebay.
 
My tokico's are fine and I am running Ford C springs with them. The big question is to ask yourself how long you plan on having the car, if it for a relatively short time then Tokicos are the best option, if you plan on keeping this car for 5+ years I would say maybe step up to the Billsteins. I know they have a warranty on them (the billsteins) but I don't know what that all covers. Might want to do a bit more research on here and the warranty info before selecting your choice. I only plan on having my car another 2-3 years probably so I was ok with my decision to get a little lesser quality vs the extra cost.
 
that's a good point ahall. about how long will i keep the car and how far im willing to go with it. like i said before anything that you buy after market is gonna be better that my stock shocks i have on there now. go with the blue tokico's and focus on other high performance suspension parts, like sway bars front and rear and better controls arms. :D
