I've bought front and rear suspension kits from Pelican for my 00 S, and I think I want to replace the shocks at the same time.

The car has 103K miles and they are likely original.

I'll be doing this myself, and I want to know should I get the B-6's or the black original spec? What are the differences? Pro's and con's? Also, whichever ones I get, should I get new hardware? Bump stops? Springs? Sway bar bushings?

I drive somewhat enthusiastically in the canyons of Colorado (when appropriate), and when I get a few more things sorted I'd like to try track and/or autocross.

TIA

Tim
