if you want a tuning ability, Go with the Koni SA Shocks. If not then Go with a revalved Bilstein to match your spring rate.
What ever you decide though , just don't get options 4,5,6, or 7. These shocks are junk to start with.

Just so you know all bilsteins are backordered way down the line thanks to some stupid people but Sam HIGHLY recommends konis, as i just went through all this and dealt with him. I bought konis myself after talking with him. Call his tech line. 1st rate guy. You can learn a ton from the suspension forum on LS1tech.com also.

Just an FYI for future reference for everyone. All Bilstein shocks are manufactured in Germany. The last time I bought a set it took three days to get from a german tuning shop. So there are options. Plus Bilstein offers custom tuning for your purchase.

Koni Sa's. Even in used form they will out perform decarbons any day of the week :) and can be had fo cheaper then brand new Konis or even brand new bilstiens for that matter. Trust me, Konis. I i have Vogtland springs and they are very simular to Stranos and they handle great with konis as well.
