Default Koni's or EB Perfomers

My grab a track shocks a just not firm enough. I need to upgrade. I was looking at the Koni shocks or the Edelbroch Perfomers. Does anybody have any recomendations. Its a street car.

I've heard the koni shocks are really firm.. actually most people have told me they are quite hard. I'm waiting for the Edelblock Performer IAS shocks to go on sale again myself. Missed them for 30.00 each last month from thier website.

I have konis, they ride really nice of course if you set them at the firmest setting they are hard.

I have and love a set of Edelbrock IAS's. I swapped out my old (but perfectly good) KYB Gas-A-Justs for them. The KYB's were stiff, but rode really poorly. The Edelbrocks ride smoother, but still handle better. Really, really nice shocks.

I have koni and think they are great. Good enough for shelby good enough for me, mind you I grew up with european cars with much stiffer suspension.
