My e30 is bone stock with now front shocks needing replacement. What options offer good value? Should I expect to pay around $100 per these days? Are there some that improve performance without large premium prices?

Dont have to go too crazy to get a nice performance increase. I put koni yellows in my car, MTech 1 rear springs with the spring pads removed, with slightly stiffer and lower front springs (king springs here, ausi brand). and a real nice performance increase came from a bigger rear swaybar.
Goes really well for what it is, and still nice to drive on the street.
The Mtech 1 front springs werent stiff enough for the koni yellow sports, felt quite odd being so over damped. But the rear seems to suit nicely.

All great advice. It would. be wonderful if the budget was around a grand as that would expand options to include a upgrade kit with a "sport" ride. No one dared offer a trip to the Oreilly's for really basic replacements. lol
Getting this old love back on the road and smogged (CA) will consume the budget so sadly the big box trip might have to do for now. It's hard to spend around 4-5 hundred to be only half way to.a respectable upgrade.
