I'd change that previous recommendation up slightly.
#1 Koni's hands down. Good compression setting, wide adjustable rebound range for too soft or too stiff. Great warranty, great build quality, etc... Ride quality can only be better than the next option given you adjust correctly.. if it's not then you adjusted the shock wrong
#2 KYB AGX's not the other crap. These aren't even close to Koni's because you'll probably never get the ideal compression and rebound setting with one **** that controls both. Worse build quality, KYB won't back up their warranty if you use lowering springs.
Bilstiens won't be valved to dampen aftermarket springs appropriately. I'd get the strano spec Bilstiens for a stock spring car that I just wanted a stock replacement shock for... note I'd get Konis for almost every application for this car.

If you are doing a lot of drag racing then you might want to look at the Strange single or double adjustables.
