I think that the SLP Bilsteins are around the same price {might be wrong on that but it should be close}. I really think that they would be a better choice in near the same price range. Most of the time, you can find a nice low mile used set for cheap, cheap.

What are your mods and what are you trying to accomplish?

Hmmm, I see that your only supension mod right now is the BMR LCAs. Looks like you are maybe just looking for a decent set set of shocks as it looks like you are setting the car up towards dragracing maybe. If so,,, I reckon the KYBs will work fine for you.

If you ever want to get into some fun in the twisties, give some thought to getting either LCAs with at least one end having a rod end,,, or maybe replace one of the poly bushings with rubber. Maybe get some better shocks than the KYBs.

I believe when I get the shocks and struts I will be going with the HAL gen.F for the front and Bilstein H.D. for the rear..
