02 I35 shock/strut ?

[flame]

Sorry if this has been already addressed, I searched but couldn't find the answer i was looking for..
I have an 02 I35, and the shocks and struts are blown. I replaced the same parts on my 97 I30 with blue tokico's, and they lowered and stiffened the ride of that car. I appreciated the handling improvement, but I am getting old, and enjoy not having ground clearance issues that the lower ride brought on..So, my question is, which suspenders offer a similar to oe ride w/o turning my car into a low rider? KYB's or Monroe's any good? thx

A few different combinations are discussed in this thread. what-to-expect-from-aftermarket-springs-and-struts-t219538.html?hilit=springs%20struts

thanks, I did read through that, and everything discussed were lowering shock/springs. I am not opposed to it, but the car already rides on the rough side, albeit blown out OE suspenders. The winter season is a few months away, and I am unsure about making my car any lower for that and other reasons. I may just order the KYB OE spec's and see how they feel, they are fairly cheap at partsgeek...
