The Apex WS coilovers aren't dampening adjustable, which is why they are soo cheap (price not quality). For shocks, it really depends on whether you want them to be adjustable or not. Tokico's blues are great nonadjustable shocks and Koni yellows, GAB Super HP's, and Tokico HTS's (that last one right?) are all supposed to be great adjustable shocks. However the GAB and Tokico HTS shocks will be about $200 more than the Koni yellows and the Koni yellows will be about $200 more than the Tokico blues. It all depends on what you want.
