Shocks. Which ones can I use?

I tried to search and ended up with more on hatch shocks than anything else...
My ride just about shakes apart after 75 and I want to start smoothing it out and align it.
I'm looking to just replace the shocks for the time being. My friend says you can use ZX2 s/r shocks, but you need a couple parts to go with them. I don't ideally want shocks with 100K on them to replace my shocks with 150K them. Is there a legit company that makes these and aren't going to totally blast my wallet? (I'm not sure how I feel about the LoTek brand) I'll pay for quality; although I push it sometimes... this car is a daily driver, not a race vehicle.

Any and all advice is appreciated.

I went on the website and looked under my car. I see gabriel struts but not the gr2s you speak of.

Are we talking about these KYB GR-2s? I found some on the KYB outlet website.

Gabriel are also excellent quality replacements. Not sure the price difference butthey would be a good purchase.
