Go for koni's if you can , bilsteins should be your next best choice ..
I've seen people with kybs with lowering springs and they seemed to like them , however bilsteins would probably handle the springs better..

Koni's are by far the best though.

If you are looking fro the best performing shock I would go with the Koni shocks, here is a link to them off our website.

http://www.bmrsuspension.com/index.c...&productid=572

http://www.bmrsuspension.com/index.c...&productid=715

http://www.bmrsuspension.com/index.c...&productid=716

There are many options it just depends on your budget and what you are looking for out of the car. My first choice would be Koni shocks followed by Bilstein shocks then foloowed by Tokico shocks. If you are not looking for all out handling but something a bit better than stock then the Bilstein or Tokico shocks will fit your needs.

KYB AGX here. Like them so far. Put roughly 2K miles on them. Good shock for the price.
