| Monroe GT Gas shocks are $100-$110 a pair and King Springs lowered are about $150 a pair |

Hey martin,
The only concern you should have is whether the reduced suspension travel from lowered springs will make the shockers bottom out, and I can tell you that Monroe Gas shocks have worked fine for me on my relatively low gem, so you should give them a shot. For the money, I havn't found a better shock.
