Default New shocks without breaking the bank?

Hey guys. I recently lifted my Disco 2" and next on my list of mods is to replace the stock shocks. Money is tight so I'm trying to do it without breaking the bank. I have been looking at the +2" Terrafirma Long Travels from undergroundrovers.com for $65 a piece but was just wondering what you guys were running and your thoughts on Terrafirmas and/or other shocks. Also thoughts on ProComp ES9000. Ive heard that ProComps are junk but I have also heard that the ES1000s are crap and that the ES9000s are decent. Any truth to that?

go terrafirma, i love em, i have the HD +2 fitted and with my ARB and winch up front and a steel bumper going on the back it rides great, just had to get the sway bars out. im running bigger tires than you 265/75 and i do get some rubbing. have not been off road since i took the sways out so im not sure how bad it actually is.

Terra Firma from Justin at Lucky 8, stay away from the Pro Comp's cause they don't work with a Rover.
Don't forget to buy a new steering stabilizer, rather see you buy an OME for that, they are stronger.

I had es1000. Junk from day-1. I upgraded to es9000, much,much better performing. BUT, contrary to what my sig. says below, I am now running stock replacement gabriels from autozone 'cause the es9000 didn't last MAYBE 2yrs/ 25k miles
