Default Need shocks for a smoother ride

What's up all, I've been looking through some threads but I can't find a definitive answer. My setup on my 98 LS is going to be a neuspeed upper strut brace, the comptech tiebar/swaybar combo, and some eibach prokits....but I need shocks that'll retain a stock-like ride, or close to. I had my heart set on koni yellows (and the bank for 'em too) but now I don't know if I'll need them all that much, considering I'm not planning to do a whole lot of autox'ing; i just want something lower but still smooth for the street. So should I just stick w/the yellows or switch to something like tokicos or KYBs? Any other suggestions? Thanks all.

kyb agxs are worth the cheaper price than getting the tockicos or konis, Im riding on kyb agx and its stiff and not bouncy at all

well I've always heard that Koni yellows are excellent.

I have Tokico Illuminis on my car, and well they are are the best part I have put on my car.

For the relatively conservative drop the prokit provides, kyb agx is enough.
2 in front, 1 in rear is the closest to stock. But you'll never have the smooth (and bouncy) feel the stock shocks have.

KYB's are fine and many people use them w/ Pro-Kits.. but I think if you can afford Koni Yellows then you should get them... I have Koni Yellows on both my cars and I love them...I have no complaints at all in the 3+ years of use.. I'd buy them for my next car...
