Default Which shocks with DMS springs?

Anyone have recommendations and/or reviews of any particular shocks with these springs? I'm not trying to break my wallet if possible, but I don't mind spending money for quality.

Input?

I have the wallet breakers with my DMS springs (Koni Dual Adjustables) and they ride great. But they also rode great when the stock DeCarbon shock had only 4,000 miles on them too. Just that the stock shocks were JUNK by 10,000 miles though. So the HD Bilsteins should work good I would think just never experienced it myself.............. Good Luck.

Cool. I was hoping someone with Koni Adjustables would chime in. Thanks for the input.

what about Bilstein HD's in rear and Koni's (either SA or DA) in front? Does anyone use or suggest that setup with the DMS springs?

I have koni sa all around, and it rides 10x better then it did before when i had crap shocks on there. The car handles great and its not bumpy, i can adjust the shocks to what my needs are. Plus u dont have to worry about replacing them again, they will last unlike other shocks that arent made for lowering springs.

Just installed my DMS springs with HDs on Sunday and am thrilled with the quality of the ride and the looks of the car. This is my third lowered car and has turned out the best so far.

I'm very happy with how the setup turned out.

It really is a toss up between the G2 and the DMS for me. However, I have seen DMS on a camaro and they ride nice, but they are very low.
