Default What kind of shocks should I get

Hey everyone gonna be looking to replace my stock shock absorbers on my 93 sc400 soon. I know next to nothing about the shocks that are out there. I am liking for stock ride. Not looking to lower or adjust height. Making these kind of adjustments seems to be the only advantage of coil overs. So there are a few brands out there. Tokico, Monroe. Who would I want to go with for a good quality, good ride.

I've also heard good things about the KYB's and Tociko Blue's. They seem to have the best ride quality.

+1 on tok's or kyb.

next time you consider monroe, slap yourself. if you are still considering them (for ANY car), stab yourself (preferrably in something like your thigh). NEVER use monroes.
ever. Don't bother with that experience crap, it's not worth it. trust me.
