I've decided to replace the shocks with the same type that are in there already and since i no longer plan on doing any major mods besides a sound system their really isn't any reason to drop it.
just thought i'd update the folks who have read this post.

There is not really much choice out there. 1) Mazdaspeed sturts $170+ a piece, or 2) any OEM replacement $50+ a piece. I got a set of KYBs, when I lowered my car.

the kybs are actually a really good deal.. i paid around 230 for all 4 shipped to my door from www.tirerack.com ... you'll pay the same or more for stock ones
