The JIC is probably the best for the money. It's the closest to a full "race" setup without spending a sick amount of money. I got mine at Toysport in Gardena.

it depends on what kind of money you can spend. JRZs, motons and ohlins are top of the line and are all > $3k for a set of four. Try doing a search for more information.

Your intended usage makes a big difference too, i.e. street vs. track vs. autocross vs. drag strip.

Perhaps a relatively inexpensive setup from GroundControl?

Honda makes a great shock Only ~250-300 a corner
(note: that is the OEM shocks. Some how I suspect Honda doesn't make them themselves).

I've hear decent reports about the Koni Yellows if you aren't looking to spend 3-5k.

The Ground Control setup is great for an inexpensive setup - however it does require tweaking with to get them to work. If you'd like a set of JIC's, I have more coming in around January 4th.
