Default Shocks and Struts for street use?

What are you running on your fox for shocks and struts? I am looking for mainly street usage. I would love some koni's but they are very pricey. Are the kyb's any good? I definetly want a good straight line hook, but I will be using these mostly on the street. Any help is appreciated.

I'm running the Strange 10 way adjustable shocks and struts. They are great! You can have your drag settings, road race settings, daily driving settings, or anything. You can customize them to how ever you want with just a turn of a ****. You can really feel a big difference between all the settings too, that's what amazed me. Best part, is that you can change settings on all 4 shocks and struts in under 1 minute, be back in your car and driving.

I will be going w/ the Tokico HP's. jdmwerks on Ebay has them for 227 shipped and they're much better quality than KYB's. They aren't adjustable, but are the same as the Tokico Illuminas on the middle setting...

The stranges look great to me, I like the adjustability. Where is the best deal on them? I would like to compare to the kyb's price wise.

The Stranges are going to be more expensive. Right now I am running Strange 10 ways in the rear and I also have strange 10 ways for the front w/ my coil over kit but havent installed them yet. Hatch is right about the adjustability, its VERY easy. You can literally turn the know with your finger tips in a matter of seconds...

From summitracing the rears ran my $140 and the fronts ran me $250. If you dont add well the total is $390
