If your car is much lower than stock then you should go with Bilstein sports.

I have a set of Illuminas... and as much as I want to say I like them... they're merely OK. I've had to replace an entire set (thankfully under Tokico warranty) after just over a year. To boot, I only have 1.5" drop Suspension Techniques springs! They're not exactly the stiffest spring, if you know what I mean. If I were to do it again, I'd go w/ Koni Yellows.

ok, i'm not getthign the bilstein sport shox
just the bilstein heavy duty=HD
non-adj.

yes, i dun think my illuminas are that good neither, when i drive on the street the compression/rebound feels plenty stiff, but for fast driving it felt slow and soft.
