Default Struts/shocks: non adjustable what to buy

My wife just got me a set of Eibach pro kit springs for X-mas and I have been searching a lot and everybody seems to say Koni's or Tokiko D-specs are the best struts and shocks and i am ok with that but I would like to know in your opinion
who makes the best NON-ADJUSTABLE struts/shocks .

My car is a daily driver and i really don't want to play with settings (even if you end up finding the ""sweet spot""), i just want to install and enjoy. I may not get the full benefits of the adjustable types but i also think that the stock struts and shocks are not designed for lowered cars.

Thanks

If memory serves me correct around $600, but remember I didn't pay for these. If I were to spend the money, I'd pop for some adjustable one's you get more bang for your buck

Meaning the adjustable ones? I think they have 10 different settings, from soft to stiff, stick it where you think you like and drive, adjust as needed
