My Gabriel shocks and struts cost less than $100 for all four and were super easy to install. I have 20k miles on them now, no problems except for a minor fitment issue on the rears which a couple washers as shims corrected. I believe they have been redesigned since then though. A slightly more expensive option would be Monroe. Everyone else will recommend you spend $700+ on a set of Bilsteins. They are great if you can afford them.

Buy a gapper. Its 2 bucks and easy to use. Copper Autolites are $1.39 each and have a hotter spark than platinums. I've run them for 25,000 miles gapped at .45 instead of the stock .54 (too far in some people's opinion) and I just bought some more.
