Just go down to your favorite auto parts and buy a good quality name brand set. If you go somewhere like PepBoys, etc... they will even install them for you.

I just replaced both front and rear with Reflexes on Sunday. I dig 'em.
Monroe has a $20 mail in rebate going for the Reflex/Sensatrac series shocks.
If you have a NAPA Auto near by, they were passing out 20% off next purchase in May cupons. Call the store and check their price vs. their internet listing so you can get the best deal (they will honor net price). After all the price cuts 4 new shocks cost me about $145 (Oregon has no tax baby!).
Also if you want to have them installed by someone, I saw a post here a while back that said Midas does it for like $18 a shock... kind of spendy for something that was surprisingly easy even for someone that has no business under a car (me
).
OR
Here's a link. Check out Shock Guy's sig. Has info on a BF sponsor that does shocks.

kyb gas-a-justs went in and made a big difference. probably didn't help that one of the rear shocks was bottoming out 3/4 " below ride height. Just made a 700 km (435 miles) trip up to northern Ontario and it was so much better. averaged 9.82 l/100km (23.8 mpg us) to boot.
