blistens are good, but KONIS are the best of the best, you literally have shocks for life with Koni, I have mine dialed at 2 turns, and they still ride pretty stiff.

if youre willing to shell out the cash for koni's, they are supposed to be the best. otherwise, bilsteins cant be beat for the price. thats what i use anyways. last time i looked on stranoparts, i think the koni's were goin for 300ish per shock for the fronts. not worth it to me.
