Default shock choices?

Currently im running stock shocks and H&R springs, and im wanting to buy something that is going to make it ride and handle a little better. I've heard that koni shocks are top notch but im not wanting to dish out all that money for them. Im kinda leaning toward bilstein. Just wants some opinions guys tell me what you would do.

Thanks

KYB agx's are a good inexpensive adjustable shock, bilsteins seem to be just a touch better than factory decarbons but since you have lowering springs so i wouldnt run them. personally im a Koni for me at least they fit my needs and make the car feel alot more refined

A suspension, like an engine or drivetrain is only only as good as it's weakest link. The biggest link for a good suspension are the shocks, and that's even more so when we are talking higher rate and/or lowering springs (in this case both).

I sell Tokico, I sell AGX's, I sell Koni, I sell Bilstein (when available). I can tell you of the 4, the Bilstein's are #4 on my list of "would use" in this case. I can't make folks spend money, but there is a reason you see so many folks happy with Koni's... they work and they work as they should, for a long time. And if they don't, they have an excellent warranty.

I have Konis on the Camaro and the wife's Honda. Changed the ride for the better on both cars.
