koni or bilstein shocks with ground control or custom sleeves, /thread. these dampers produce by far better damping curves than any of the JDM/JDM-style shocks I've seen, even some of the expensive ones. There's some fundamental flaws in the design of these Jdm/jdm-style shocks, imo:
1. adjustment knob adjusts both rebound/compression (too much cross talk) on most of them
2. too much compression damping relative to rebound, resulting in a jittery ride and less compliance (although most ppl mistake a stiff ride for a better suspension), overall result, less grip
3. linear damping curves, not as compliant as digressive curves over bigger bumps/curbs

stiff isn't necessarily better. the job of the suspension is to keep the tires in contact with the road, it can't do that if its too stiff and jittery.
