KYB or Bilstein?

Is anyone running KYB AGX? I have not heard many good things about these. Or should i go with Bilstein's. The car is a daily driver and will see the strip on occation. I want a good shock that will let me launch and still handle decently. Suggestions? Am i over looking a brand?

Several of my friends have disliked the KYBs. The Bilsteins have very good road manners. If you are looking for a shock that provides both good street/strip attributes, then I would probably look at the Konis.

Do you think the Konis are worth three times the money? The cheapest i have found is just over 800 for the set. I can get bilsteins for under 300.

You can't go wrong with either one, but the Konis are adjustable where the Bilsteins are not.
