If you want to improve your handeling the best (and most expensive) would be with custom valved or adjustable such as the QA1. The step below that would be a good generic but aggressively valved shock such as the Edelbrock or Bilstine. Below that would be a regular valved but lowered shock such as the Beltech or Toxic Shock.
