before just spending a lot onf $ on a great piece of equipment such as a Koni SA or Koni DA, let's see what you have as present suspension setup and see which shock will serve you better... who knows... there might be great shocks for the springs you have @ better $.

with all due respect, the kyb shocks aren't great, neither for handling nor confort. they are good mainly for drag purposes.
but before we go on the shock of choice, we would like to know which springs you are using and swaybars.
Is the rest of your suspension stock ? any mods ? please list them so we can help you better.

If you want just a good ride with good handling (better than stock) and no adjustment from what I read Bilstein HD @ app 350&up are the ticket. If you want adjustable and are afraid of KYB based on reviews the your lookin at 600 to 900 for Strange,QA1 or Koni. Sam Strano could valve you a special set for Im guessing 3to400 non adj.

no... I'm saying that you could go Koni SA in front and Bilstein HD in the rear.
if going with that setup, you can actually lower the car by 3/4" by using the lower perch location of the Koni SA (it has 2 perch locations)
the rear can be lowered by same amount using the hose-mod.
rear stock shocks are a POS
