Since you are not going too crazy with the suspension, I would suggest either KYB or Bilstien. Both are really good shocks. Also don't forget to add LCA relocation brackets to your list.

Those relocation brackets are pretty much a requirement if you want to stop the wheel hop and get the power to the ground. Since you are not a good welder, have someone else who is a good welder put them on for you. You will regret it if you don't. Hopefully you don't go cheap on the rest of the suspension like you did on the shocks.

if your worried about monay i know you can get the iroc sway bars and springs that are pretty good... not as good as after market but the sway bars are plenty stiff for street driving.... idk how spring would compare(id prolly buy new springs)
