Default 2003 350z - Need replacement shocks

My Z is lowered on Hotchkis springs, and the oem shocks are starting to go out.

I know that Tokico shocks are well spoken of, however I cannot find them available anywhere.

Can anyone suggest other brands of aftermarket shocks. Thanks

Koni or Bilstein. Either are also reputable brands

The oem Tokicos are no longer made. I chose Bilstein B8s and love them.

There are no more “better than OE” budget shocks left in the price range of the Tokico blue. KYB are supposed to be that shock but personally think they’re not even close.

Bilstein or Koni. Bilstein has a better ride. Koni has adjustability.
