A lot of people even run stock shocks on 4" drops in the rear. Not recommended but hey.

If you just HAD to change shocks, you could go with belltechs street performance series. Thats what I have at least

I did the 2" spring lowering added the shock-drop brackets (not relly necessary) and I used the Edelbrock IAS Performer shocks, Trailing arms and panhard. I did do little research on the current shock technology and spoke with a suspension engineer I know. Basically, Belltech, Street Performer, Bilstein...etc, are all excellent. I went with the IAS as they offered the best current technology and adaptability. They are known to blow seals, but most hi-po suspension does that occasionally.
