Question S60/Strano/UMI/etc need help on shock choice!

Strano Springs
Strano Adj 22mm Hollow Sway
Spohn Body Mount TA w/ Loop
UMI PHB & LCA (single adj)
MWC SFCs
Strange S60
..all on the way already

FWIW, car has Pacesetter LTs/ORY

I need to choose shocks and am on limited funds due to the list above. Im thinking Bilstein HD? Ive read they are decent, not the best, not the worst. Dont tell me to get Konis, cant afford it right now. I was gonna say the hell with it and leave the stockers but wanna do it right so Im putting off some other stuff I want in favor of getting shocks. Car is 90% street (although not a dd) and occasional track, not looking for maximum handling and cornering capabilities. Thanks in adv

talk to Strano about getting a set or re-valved Bilstiens, they are not much more then the HD's and you only need the rears re-valved. tell him you have a S60 and he can have them re-valved for your application.
