If I was going to get new shocks and springs, I'd get Konis from Pantera Performance Center or Pantera East, as a first choice, and Carrera/QA1 from Wilkinson as a second choice.  Larry Stock carries the same shocks, but he fits them with ridiculously light springs (lighter than stock, in fact) which makes for a Cadillac ride, but if you drive your car with sporting intent, it bounces all over the road...:<(
