Koni Yellows, and use the stiff linear bumpstops from here http://www.ground-control-store.com/...php/II=10/CA=1

I like the way my car handles and rides (2004), so I'll probably go with OEM shocks when the time comes. Does Bilstein have anything for us?

Used OEM or CR.. cheapest and easiest. Koni's require you to drill out the OEM top hats (8x rose bushings, 4x dust boots), adding time and potentially cost as you destroy some drill bits

or you can pick up a used set of koni's already assembled with the OEM parts modified for under 500.

Maybe go for a used CR set or maybe the orange Koni's.So the Yellow is not a direct fit?

Yellow requires a little modification. its not too hard and pretty well documented. ive never had experience with the orange but the koni sport ( yellows ) are pretty good
