If you still have stock shocks, I think you should get aftermarket shocks for the comfort and better performance.

Koni sports or Bilstein sports. Certainly stay away from Kyb Gr-2's.

Can anyone give me a website that has Koni sports or Bilstein sports shocks for as cheap as possible? Thanks.

Well... check. And if they are no names, replace them unless you are very happy with their performance. And it's doubtful they will fit Koni shocks, usually Koni's have larger outer DI's than other shocks.

Koni Yellow would be your best choice.
