Default shocks with g2 super springs

I am getting a set of g2 super springs for a really good price at the end of the month! I now that g2's are a higher rate spring and that you are better off getting some heavier duty shocks to make you ride better and since the car is my daily driver i want a good ride quality. So what shock/strut setup is best with the g2 super springs the HD bilsteins or the revalved bilsteins from sam strano? Any other recommendations or experiences are welcome! thanks <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

from what i hear you can go with regular bilsteins. it wont affect the handling much if you dont revalve the bilsteins. its up to you if you want to pay the xtra && to revalve them which i think is like 75 each strut

I have not run a revalved Bilstien, so saying it's "not worth it" wouldn't be prudent.

However, I've run my off the shelf Bilstien HDs w/ G2 springs for almost 3 years and am very happy with their performance.

I run Koni DA's with my G2's. That may be overkill for your purpose though..

I have Hals all around and the car handles simply AMAZING.
But don't expect a nice comfortable ride with the G2's, you'll feel every bump in the road. If the road is nice your ride will be nice.

One thing I can say is DO NOT use factory decarbons!!!

I did this because I was short on money at the time. The car handled fine for about 6 months then the shock valving finally died. After that, the car would bounce like a ricer over the slightest imperfection in the road. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />

I vote going with revalved shocks tuned to those springs. It will cost more up front but they will pay off over time.
