bilstein strut ?
When I bought my springs and camber plates I was given a set of Front bilstein struts. I plan on running the bilsteins up front and have been debating about what to do in the rear. Should I buy a set of rear bilsteins for $130 each or go with a different brand? I think I can get the higher end tokico and kyb for about the same price as the bisteins.

Run all 4 of the same type. Bilsteins are well made, I've had them on my car for about 35k miles with no issues, and the car rides nice, but it's too soft for serious track work. Koni Yellows are the standard (and adjustable) - I'll run those next.

Yes - Eibachs. Again, the car rides nice, floats right over speed bumps no problem (when I see ricers slow down to nothing or zig zag over them I have to laugh), but it's also a bit soft for serious work...then again that may be ok for you on the street
