My main purpose for getting shocks is open track events that a friend runs here in cali. First I have to get a roll bar. But are you reccomending that a car for these purposes get the adjustable? I was thinking of getting the Bilsteins. Please let me know what you think. Oh and what is the prices you sell each shock for? Basically I like a harder riding car it will be on the street 2-3 days a week and I will be going to these events probaly once a month. At tracks like Buttonwillow, Streets of willow springs and the willow springs big track.

It's hard to go wrong with the Koni's, as you can do pretty much whatever you like with them. DA's are beyond most folks understanding, so I'd recommend SA's (unless you really want DA's).... The adjustable shock allows you to tailor your ride, and response to your tastes. Also you can run a wide variety of springs with them as well. Bilstein HD's are valved for, and best suited to a stock spring. Stiffer springs want more damping (again, another reason we revalve a lot of them). Be aware that if you'd like revalves ($480/set vs. $735/set for Koni's) we need to have a plan including what springs you might want to run. The shocks are valved to each case. I don't have a "one size fits all" attitude.....
SAs are usually about half the price of DAs, I imagine they are around $700 right now, Sam's website would tell you though, www.stranoparts.com
If your not going to get fancy, you could just go with Bilsteins now and pull them off the car for revalving if and when you go with new springs. If you go with the Konis though you will be ready for nearly anything, thats why I got the DAs, I wanted to be able to change my springs if I wanted to down the line.
