If you decide to go this route, Gabriel Ultra shocks and struts from Rockauto.com are good. Avoid Monroe and the cheaper brands. KYB are OEM, but the aftermarket ones are stiffer than the OEM, but are excellent quality.

Pros: Gabriel Ultra shocks good
Cons: Monroe, cheaper brands avoid

GABRIEL Shock absorbers

I used a set of Gabriel Shocks for the front and back of my 98 LX, they are spring assisted load shocks. Super cheap, but it's been 5 years and they are still going strong.

Pros: still going strong
Cons: super cheap
