Which Shocks?

I think i've decided to go with ground control coilovers and just wondering which shocks would be better to run with them? Koni, KYB AGX, or tokico ? Thanks in advance

LandHo_S13 Save your money for a month and buy REAL coilovers.

I knew that one was coming lol but im not a serious autoxer or anything like that and i was just going to go with a simple spring shock combo but i decided id like to be able to adjust my height...Are the basics or gc's really that bad or are yall saying go with true ones because of the adjustability (cuz i have no idea how to even play with the dampering or camber, which probably means i dont need it...) And persay i still went with gc's which shocks are the best?

lol for a month...im a college student with a part time weekend job and bills...itll b a lot more than a month...

i ll actually answer ur questions... i think Koni makes good shocks... but everyone here seems to use AGX... RSR for springs but Stech are good too... now i say you get coils IF you can.... or a coil over kit...they are dampening and ride height adjustable but they prolly cost the same as coil overs... but you get to choose your spring rate!
