What springs? I did Konis on mine, drastic improvement over QA1s. If I didn't want to spend the scratch, then I would have gotten bilsteins. I have had a lot of buddies run them on their cars, all liked them. We have done 6+ sets of the Bilsteins on various cars over the last 10 years or so. I want to put my Level II SLP springs on a buddies car with the Bilsteins, he has 100K mile Decarbons that sound atrocious.

I have a set of SLP Level IIs with maybe 20 miles on them coming off my TA for some Hotchkis lowering springs. Level 2s would work well with a Bilstein HD as that is what SLP paired them with. Main reason I did them was because I didn't want to lower the car but I still wanted a good spring. Only thing is, I liked the way it looked lowered so I bought the Hotchkis springs.

hahaha that haoppens to me all the time. you do a mod not expecting it to look good and it does. last week i did a 5600 RPM clutch drop and ripped my stock tourqe arm in two hahaha but im guessing i should go with bilsteins huh?

I can't comment on the KYB because I have never done a set in the car, in my experience Bilsteins are all that was used and every one with a set seemed to have no complaints and enjoyed the upgrade over factory shocks.

I had a set of adjustable KYB AGX's (don't know if they all are) on the front of my car for awhile. They worked ok but I wanted more of a track setup so they weren't for me. I can't say they would be bad for the street though. One thing about them is the adjustment is for extension AND compression not individual settings. IE if you "loosen" the shock it loosens going both ways.

ive got agx's on my car, I like them. They are a pretty decent street shock and not bad at the track. If it is a track only car id go a different route

I wouldn't recommend the KYB...Koni's if you got the $$...bilsteins are a good alternative for less $.

Konis are great shocks, but they are pricey, even on sale I paid almost twice what a set of bilsteins would have cost.
