If putting on a hydro don't get hard ones!
And add the rear competition bumpstop kit- it helps more than the shocks do. :P

Im running full set of 14 point SPAX gas adjustable shocks, certainly not cheap!! Were $450 a pair through fulcrum. Yeah they are a bit of an overkill for the street, but good to have the adjustability from soft to hard via a knob on the side of the shock. Seem to do a good job though.
