Default What are the best shocks??

i was wondering what the best shocks. Right now I have kybs or konis (i think koni reds) in the front on 800lb springs, and tokicos illuminas in the rear with 400 lb springs.

I heard kyb made the best shocks but Im not shure.

Or should I just save for a year and get some Buddy Club racing spec dampres?

teh setup you have is KYB AGX in the front with i think 8K springs
and Illuminas with 4oolb for the rear

if I were to buy some shocks i would get Koni yellows with some good springs

where is the previous owner of this setup when you need him
he knows exactly what the spring rates are, and honestly i doubt that
chad would have 800/400 setup on his car (at least i don't think he would)
