I know that, compared to all the people on this forum who have turned their cars from Family Man's Driveway Wart into a big, hairy, testostorone-injected racing machine, I will seem like somewhat of a pansy.
But if I want to keep the factory suspension feel (not super spongy like a General Motors car, but not stiff enough to put your butt to sleep on a long road trip) what would be the best shock absorbers to couple with the factory springs? I'd like it to be stiffer than it is now, since the OEM struts are shot, but I know very little about getting the best strut for my money, too. Should I just go to Autozone or Advance Auto Parts and pick up a set of whatever they have in the back room, or would it be worth the money to get some of the high-end stuff?
