I put some bilstein hd's on mine when I lowered it with the BMR springs and the ride is really good. If you are gonna hit the track you might want to consider getting the HAL shocks so you don't have to re buy them. So.... if its a street car get the bilsteins, if its a track car get the Hals.

What if it's a daily driver and a strip car? Bilsteins or HALs?

If you go to the strip any more than 2 times a year I would get the HALS, but thats just me cause I would want every possible adavantage once at the track.

If you car is mainly a daily driver, I would go with the Bilstein HDs at minimum. Other options are revalved Bilsteins from Strano and Koni SAs (optimum).
