i think kyb agx shocks are the most bang for the buck. They're so awesome. All of my friends that have them are totally satisfied and i thought that the ride quality was very nice. The adjustable perches are a cool feature on it for a shock that costs little compared to others. If u got money to spend, go for the koni yellows, but kyb agx will satisfy you just fine.

Btw, my friend owns a 00 coupe I4 stick and his drop set up is neuspeed race and koni yellows. Neuspeed and H&R are very very good along with eibach, etc.
