Budget performance shocks

well, Ideally, i would like to get QA1 adjustables...but, those just are not in the budget.
Wondering what are some other decent performing shocks for those of us on a budget?
I will more than likely be running eibach drag-launch springs

Try the Summit brand rear shocks sold at Summit Racing, they don't list an application for a 4th gen but they offer the 3rd gen which are the same.

I've been 1.59 on them with my weak knee'd car.

unless you are doing some serious track work, I dont think those QA's are needed. I would go with soe Tokicos like the guy above said, those are really good shocks and fit a budget. For a really low budget get a set of KYBs

you can grab some lakewood drag shocks for 75 for a pair from summit or other places. Then throw tokico's in the front.
Dont get kyb's they are junk, a buddy had them in a ta that was slammed. The car rode like ****, absolutely horrible. When he adjusted them to make em softer the front end would bounce up and down over bumps in the road. So he just put up with the bs ride and drove the car on the harder settings.
