koni sport (yellows)
kyb agx
tokico illuminas

I've heard fairly good reviews of all 3. Of those 3, I'd go with koni adjustables.

all three of those cost a pretty penny if i'm not mistaken, but they are great products and you usually get what you pay for. But i've also had a good experience with the tokico blues with an Eibach Sportline setup. The drop is about 2 in. and they've held up for over 15k miles so far. If you've got the cash, go with the Koni yellows, if you're strapped for cash, Tokico blues might be your answer.

The absolute best option would be Neuspeed-modified Koni shocks. They are shorter than stock which gains you back some suspension travel when using lowering springs; and their spring perches are adjustable to five settings instead of the standard three. The base damping is also beefed up a bit.

You can buy Neuspeed-modified Koni shocks from...surprise, Neuspeed.

Normal Koni Sport shocks are the same length as stock and have a 3-position height adjustment on the spring perch. The Neuspeed ones (I believe their official designation is SP3) are 20 mm shorter than stock, have a 5-position height adjustment, and are stiffer.
