I’ve seen that link on evolutionm.net, the author talks about a whole lot of things regarding shocks and which ones are the best, he said the best for the money are bilstein and koni’s. I forget what were the pros and cons of both, but these were the one’s that he would recommend. All the japanese coilover makers had extreme amounts of crosstalk with regards to rebound and dampening. He basically said that they were all crap. I’ll try and find the link.
As for which to get i would go with koni’s, and a set of custom springs maybe.
