I've done some research on this and most people state that Bilstein HDs w/prokit (or any other lowering spring) are minimal. In other words they'll work ok. Bilstein revalved shocks are much more recommended. I've also been told KYB AGX will work better than HDs and Koni SA will work best. It really all depends on your budget and/or preference.

Great match but cost alot- either the SA or DA Konis. Good match, Bilstein revalves. Decent match and slightly cheaper, SLP revalves. The minimal {IMO} that will work OK is Bilstien HDs. This is the cheapist unless you find a set of the others slightly used, which is the best scenerio.

I've got KYB AGX with my pro-kit and I like it a lot. The handling is awesome and not harsh at all.

I've got Koni SA's up front and Bilstien HD's in the rear w/ my pro kit and it is a VERY good combination. I'm very happy w/ it.

I use the fully tunable Koni and I believe it has the best handling (street racing) and comfortable ride. Good Luck.
