Jim,

This has been discussed quite thoroughly here and on the 311s.org forums.
Here's the link to the 311s.org Tech Info:

>From my reading, most people run KYB GR-2's, which cost about $90 (that's
all 4 - front & rear shocks) from Summit Racing. Some have found Monroes and
others that'll work. Next up is the KYB Gas-Adjust's. The crhme de la crhme
are Koni's.

Hi everyone,

I'd like some ideas on what a decent pair of shocks are for the 2000
roadster.  I'd like something close to stock, reasonably priced and
available.  This is for the roadster we're fixing up for my son.  It's going
to be a daily driver.   I figure if he wants fancy, he can buy later.  

I'd even consider good used if someone on the list has some?
