I was looking around for a 2 inch lift for my gen 3 and eventually settled with KYB skorched 4's and King springs. My stock suspension was gone and sagging rear drivers side. The new spring/shock combo is a nice ride, comfy enough, and good for all types of terrain so far.

Pros: nice ride, comfy enough
Cons: not assembled, no bump stops

KYB makes really good shocks. FCS if you are on a budget. Probably the best budget brand. You'll still close to OEM ride but probably would wear out earlier

Pros: close to OEM ride
Cons: wear out earlier

KYB Shock absorbers

As for the continental kit affecting the handling, I really don't think it makes a difference, the handling is terrifying! There is a long 90 degree curve near me, and when I try to push the car thru it, I get body lean, tire squeal, and understeer that slowly gives way to a neutral attitude.

Pros: balances out the weight
Cons: terrifying handling, body lean

I put those on my 2007 Maxima and didn't have a good result. The rear KYB shock absorbers were way too stiff and they made the car bouncy at highway speeds.

Cons: too stiff, bouncy at highway speeds
Vehicle: Nissan Maxima
