Koni, Bilstein or Tokico shocks? Using Eibach springs.

What combination is the best?

I can get KONI's for cheap(classiscar.com or something).

Or should I get Tokico Illuminum shocks?

I tryed searching, but I didn't find good info about the Bilstein shocks. Are these any good?


What different (driving) caracteristics do these shocks have?

rx7gslse: really? I got a quote from them that was about 20 bucks higher than my local O'Reilly auto parts. Of course, those quotes didn't include shipping, or tax, respectively. But in any case, I would definitely go with the Illuminas; that adjustability would be awesome!
