Last time: What are you running for shocks? 120-130

So my suspension rebuild has progressed slower than I hoped. I have decided to run all poly bushings and to keep the factory springs. The real question comes down to shocks.

After doing a lot of reading on other forums, I came to the conclusion that Bilstein shocks weren't the best choice for my current suspension rebuild. My car is no powerhouse, but I would like to have a nice ride.

So, what shocks are you currently running on your Amazon? Do you like them? Is there a good combination front and rear, or should I run the same shocks all the way around? I am thinking about going with Monroes since a few people have recommended them. My only problem with them is that they are not gas shocks.

If I receive some good feedback, then I will probably consider selling my Rear Bilsteins for a reasonable price if someone is interested in them. I just don't want to install them and then hate them. I can also find some Bilstein fronts for a reasonable price as well. Let me know if you are interested.

Thank you.
