Shocks Question

I just order'ed a set of Eibach Sportline Springs and figured I would go ahead and replace the stock shocks becuase they would blow soon after lowering it.

So, Im woundering which ones to get. I've narrowed it down to the Bilsteins or KYB Adjustables. Ive seen two different kinds of Bilsteins, HD and SLP. What is the difference between them and does anyone know of good or bad things about the kyb?

Thanks for any input

The ND Bilsteins have more rebound than the SLP Bilstiens. I would suggest the HD Bilsteins.

Yep, unless you can afford the double adjustable Konis.

If you're going with sportlines don't just get Bilstein HD, you won't be happy. Call Sam Strano, check out his # on LS1.com You'll need revalved Bilsteins or Konis to give you a good ride. Stay away from KYB. Also no need for D/A Koni, S/A Konis are what are practical.
