I thought about some Koni Yellows, or some KYB AGX adjustables... But im sure that there are a lot more other different brands of shock companies out there, and im looking to get a new set of shocks. So which ones do you all like out there?

You can order custom Koni's with shortened valves. I wouldn't recommend KYB AGX. You can lower the car only so much with the KYB's.

You could always mod the KYB's and allow the springs to go lower. You can't go wrong with whichever one you go with. I say go for the most affordable one, and mod as needed.

If you're going to mod them, you might as well go stock or as cheap as you can get. No need to pay top dollar if you're just going mess up their functionality anyways.

I'm sure someone makes a shock specifically for slammed cars these days.

get some shortened ones. That way u wont blow them out in less then a month. its worth the extra $$ in the long run.

You have to send them out to get them shortened. It's a good idea to get them shortened, but there's really no need. Just drive carefully

Anything meant for a lowered car.

having them revalved helps. but bottoming out is much more fun.

most companies will do it. Send them a e-mail and ask how much it would be to get them shortened and revalved.

I had KYB's on my Civic and they worked really good.

Get a good set of some Bilsteins if they sell them for your car.

BTW, why did you post this under your "madking" name instead of your "gm_tuner" name?
