What replacement shocks are most commonly used with the Hotchkis springs? I'm at about 33k miles and feel it would be best to go ahead and replace the shocks.

Ride Report:
Stock Springs over power the stock shock valving causing a slight bounce in the Suspension. This slightly upsets the control of the car.
Hotchkis decreases front spring rate and raises in the rear eliminating bounce and increases handling and ride quality over stock.

Sorry for not reading through the whole thread, but the "TVS" kit, is that the springs+rear bar?
What's the pricing and availability of that?

I know it wasn't declined due to lack of funds, what's it saying on your end?

man so many positive reviews.Im so convinced, just have to look into my account now and make a final decision when to get them. I got a question though. Will the stock struts good enough? or will i have to replace them later, if i do how many miles can i get after i lower my car.
