I'm driving an ST162 with low springs (no the superlows) and it really needs some new shocks. any suggestions? my mechanic says he wouldnt put gabriels on a billy cart as i was quoted a huge amount for them by capital steering. So any other good brands?

firstly what are you planning to do ?
like whether u want drift, or just everyday driving because different shocks are better for different situations depends on what you want to use them for

Well i want the car to stay upright and grip the road. stability i suppose you could say. and i want as little roll as possible. No drift. just grip and stability

It's interesting that you say Capital Steering quoted you large $ for Gabriels (Not that I'd use them)...I'm wondering just how much they quoted you, as they are going to do a quote for my car, using Kings progressive rate lowering coils and Konis from (I think) an Audi.
So, I'll be interested to get an idea of what a reasonable quote should be for a "good" setup...Bearing in mind that I priced TRD adjustables for mine at $300+ per corner...Plus $80 in freight to get them here etc etc.
