dms springs and shock guru's any advise just got my dms springs in the mail today and need to get the shocks next. i have searched and read as much as possible and it seems a lot of people go with either koni or kyb shocks with this set up.
should i choose one over the other and why? money not really the issue, but i don't want to have to redo this down the road in 6 months or a year because i didn't "know" one was better than the other.
dms springs and which shocks to go with them?
thanks,
rob

Koni SA will be the best choice. They are the only ones that are suitable/capable out of the box. Revalved Bilsteins would be the next best.

Stock shocks are barely adequate for stock springs. Lowering the ride height and increasing the spring rate is really bad news for stock shocks. I speak from experience...

Koni's all the way. You might be able to go the revalved bilstien route, but im not sure if Sam Stranno has any valving for thoes springs, best thing to do would be call him and find out.
