Seeking recommendations for new shocks/struts

I'm thinking about getting new shocks and struts for my 02' C2 Coupe that has the standard (non-sport) suspension. This is for street use only and I just want something firmer than what I have now (which is what came with the car new). I'm not looking for a fancy setup like the PSS-9 coil overs, just something that will be an easy replacement with no modifications.

What do you guys recommend and where do you recommend I purchase them? Are the Bilstein Sports good?

I'd like to stick with my stock sway bars and springs just because I'm cheap. But, I might be able to be convinced otherwise. If anyone knows of a great deal on a ROW 030 kit (I'm in the U.S.), please let me know . . .

Also, how much does labor usually cost for a strut/shock replacement on all 4 corners?

Thanks.

I had the US M030 on my 99 C2 and changed recently to the X74. You'd probably be very happy with the ROW M030 but you might want to try a ride in the X74. I thought it would be harsh and choppy but was pleasantly surprised by how compliant but controlled it was. Very happy with my choice.

Oh, and you can DIY on the suspension change. Just be sure to get it aligned afterward.
