Default What shocks ?

Quick question here, I currently have the yellow Billstiens on my car and want to make an improvement but not break the bank at the same time. I was looking at the adjustable KYB AGX shocks. Would they perform better then what I have now as far as handling, straight line, better or worse ride quality ?
If there is anything else you might suggest that would be great or am I on the right path here ? Thanks!

Yellow Bilsteins are a nice, basic shock.

These Vikings are hot right now.

How do you plan to use your car?

I like the car to handle around the corners nice but not sacrifice straight line performance at the same time. It's a daily driver as well..

Unless yours are worn out I dont think it would be a worthy upgrade.

Koni's may be but Billstiens are a nice stock

I'd get Koni SA's, or stick with the Bilsteins.
You can upgrade to strano sway-bars, and better lowering springs
