Default Shocks/Struts....what the hell....

I have a set of Eibach springs on right now and I am in desperate need of upgrading the shocks and struts. Everyone I see has the Tokico-D specs and seems to love them. I'm just curious if any of you guys are running other setups and what you think of them. I'm only looking for some comparisons before shelling out 500+ bucks. Any opinions would be great, and I'm sure this topic has been done to death, but you all know the search isn't working and google sucks just the same. Thanks for the opinions.

I plan on going with the koni's when i have $ to upgrade. A lot of people run the Tokico's but the Koni's have proven to be a much better choice even though the added cost. I know you can contact SamStrano on these boards and he will be able to setup you with a set.

Actually if you purchase them before the 1st then they will be cheaper. Koni raised their price effective on the 1st so nows the time!!!

Damn, are the stock struts/shocks/springs that bad? I hate the way my car handles and have been kerplunking every $$ into speed parts.

Time to go suspension....

Has anyone ever used the Steeda set up? They don't look that much different from the D-Specs, but I've never heard of anyone using them.

I totally respect Steeda and their products but haven't used their non-adjustable shocks/struts. I'd love to see some comparison reviews.

this is what I was looking into, but haven't seen any comparison yet.
