That's a pretty relative question.

It would be Koni or Bilstein. THe Bilstein are self adjusting whereas the Koni yellow will allow you to dial in rebound. So it depends on your needs. Explain your needs and someone will surely answer the question.

Are you looking to use stock springs? If so and you'd like to lower the CG a bit I'd go with koni as they give you that option.

Well I'm putting in a set of H&R springs and while I'm in there I'd like to put in some shocks. I'm not going to be doing any major auto X events anytime soon, but would still like to be able to if I wanted. Something easy and hassel free.
