Sam, I have a 2002 WS6 with the stock Decarbon shocks. I will replace them, but probably not before summer runs out. I will not be lowering the car, changing springs, etc. What in your opinion is the best replacement for the stock shocks? Money is not a major concern, but I wouldn't want to waste it either. Thanks.

Oh, I should add, no track time. Don't drag because the strips are too far away. Daily driver on 2 lane blacktop about 40 miles every day. One of the last unstraightened sections of US 30 left in the country. So I am looking for better handling in a daily driver on curvy roads.

I will not recommend anything without speaking to you in depth about things first. I need to figure out what you want to change, if anything, about the way the car drives before I can even start to get an idea. I don't skimp on shocks since I believe they are the key to the car working as it should, but I'm also not going to automatically say Koni either. Fact is, I can't know without talking to you.
