well its about $175 difference, I just assumed that the 16 would give me more control over my options over the 5 way...

Thats actually a really good deal. They usually run for about 650. not shipped. Are you running a lowering spring right now?

I can get the KYG AGX 5 way adjustables for $340 shipped. I'm wondering if the extra 120ish is worth it, Or save the extra and get some custom road race springs made to match

Sometimes companies include the "Rebound" and the "Damper" settings for their total "Adjustability."

I've always found Koni's and Tokico's to be the best over all package... Bilstein's work well, but don't have the best "off shelf" life...

And the price that was quoted is decent... Especially since it's not that hard to install shocks/struts.. Although they should ideally be done at the same time...
