I just got the kyb's on and they feel great. I have them on the first setting now but for next months autox i will crank them up to 6 or so. I have read that people only get good performance out of them for 40,000 miles. Which is fine with me since i only drive my car 2k miles a year.

Bilstiens are going to be the best built of the three, but are expensive. But it really depends on how you drive. For everyday street driving any of them would be fine.

I have the Hal QA1 12-way adjustables, and they are the best IMO. Very well constructed, easy on car adjustment and fully rebuildable. Two thumbs up!

I have KYB AGX adjustables and I made the mistake of trying to use them as a drag racing shock, they are not the best choice for that I have come to learn.
They work really well and you can really tell when you change the settings but I will be changing to Hals when I do it again, I reallly need the ride height adjustment.

The Bilsteins HD's are very good, especially with stock springs. I'm very happy with mine, along with the 35mm front sway bar. HUGE improvement.
