Ok, I need some shocks for the GN. What does everyone recommend? Keep in mind that the GN has the Hotchkis lowering springs.

I was thinking coil-overs but I am not sure I want to spend the money on those at this time.

Ok, I went ahead and ordered the DSE shocks through GNS Performance. Hopefully they will work well.

I am going to stick with quick, easy, and relatively cheap for now. Long term I still think I want to go with coil-overs though.

He's got some really nice stuff. I see myself spending a few bucks there.

Tell him you heard about it on IHADAV8.com! :)

I figured it would not hurt to support the vendors!!! That is why I did not buy directly from DSE.
