Default What shocks to go with?

Okay So I have some Skunk2 springs on stock shocks on my EK, this is temporary until I get new shocks. I am thinking what shocks should I go with, since I don't have much experience with different shocks. I was thinking about the Skunk2 sport shocks which are made to go with s2 springs, I was also thinking about tokico blues, Koni Str.t, KYB agx looks cool because they are adjustable.

what shocks/strut should I go with? I want a decent comfort, and pretty good performance..

KYB, Tokico don't warranty their shocks if paired with aggressive drop springs. Koni's do and so do the skunk2 but skunk2 warranty is only 3 months.

Tokico blues warrantied with drop springs? Haha try getting that to fly. As for the AGX's the 2 years I had them and tried to blow them, it didn't happen. But as I have been reading they don't warranty crap if on drop springs that's even guys on 1.2" Eibach pro's

koni str.t is far superior to the tokico blue and the same $300 shipped. not only do the konis have stronger valving they actually will provide a lifetime warranty. the str.t is basically the sport set on soft.

it's hard to suggest the AGX even though they are a good shock, it's just koni sports are $450 and the AGX's are nearly the same.

the s2 sport shocks arent bad, but you will experience a little bit of bounce on very large dips. i have them on my DA right now with the s2 lowering springs and i have no complaints other than i wish that the dampening rate was adjustable. it handles surprisingly well. i may be a little biased because i havent ridden in any other lowered cars, but i feel like the ride is more "firm" than bouncy so to say.
