I like the Bilstiens. Tokico's would be my second choice.It depends on what you do with your car. If your on a budget "Strange" make some externally adjustable shocks $64.27 each & struts $111.43 each!

koni...hands down...fully adjustable..These struts are God...my car is one of the lowest cobras around but with the konis it still feels like it is stock....

Ride quality --> adjustable...stiff or smooth..

Handling --> HANDS DOWN [worship] [worship]

Do it once and do it right the first time! What I mean by that is spend the money up front and get the Konis, Bils or Tokikos and be done with it. Forget KYBs and budget shocks/struts, otherwise you'll be doing it again. I've been there and done that... Now I gotta do it again.
