If you are building a handling car, you basically have three choices.

Koni SA (if money is not an issue)
Bilstein Revalves (if you don't have the money for Koni's)
Bilstein HD (if you are like me and need to be spending your money on a clutch and brakes, but are tired of your car looking like an off-road vehicle)

The HDs are just fine, I know this from personal experience. However the overall consensus seems to be that if you have the money you should do revalves or Konis.

Once I take care of my clutch, brakes, get my LTs on and tune the car, i'm going to get me a set of Koni SAs and see what the hype is about. I swear if they are not a massive improvement over HDs, people on this board are going to have some major explainin' to do!

I preferred Bilstein with the majority,That's the shocks i used in my car since i had replaced those pair my stock shocks and the drive goes on really smooth.

Yeah im pretty much set for performance now since mid to high 12s was my gaol. I want my car lowered and the handling to be improved. im just not sure which setup to get, cause i currently go to the drag track alot, but i plan to go to VIR to road race this summer after suspension and tires.
I wish the konis were just a hundred dollars cheaper
