I suggested KYB Gas-a-just shocks. Not to expensive and they are a great mix of comfort and sportyness

Pros: comfort and sportyness

Cons: not too expensive

As far as selection goes, you can choose from ANY grade of part in most cases. Their parts don't break in two-weeks if you know your brands: KYB for shocks.

Pros: parts don't break

Cons: car sits rather high
