The BEST? Bilstein 5100's or Fox 2.0's. If I remember, though, you're on a budget? The best bang-for-the-buck? General consensus seems to be the Monroe Reflex.

SEARCH, and you'll find this subject has been beaten nearly to death.

If you can find actual OEM shocks, at a descent price, they should be fine. Although around here ( south-central Ohio) most OEM items are dealer items, and can be pricey.
