Hey i got the Eibach Sportline Springs, and since i have the struts out and everything, i was thinking i might as well get some new struts and shocks too. Well im stuck between KYB AGX adjustable struts/shocks (eBay Motors: KYB AGX Adj Shocks / Struts 93-2002 Camaro, Firebird (item 8055933345 end time Apr-21-06 23:16:43 PDT) (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/KYB-AGX-Adj-Shocks-Struts-93-2002-Camaro-Firebird_W0QQitemZ8055933345QQcategoryZ33590QQrdZ1 QQcmdZViewItem) and some bilsteins strut/shocks (eBay Motors: BILSTEIN SHOCKS CAMARO 93- 03 FREE SHIPPING (item 8055234745 end time Apr-19-06 17:27:22 PDT) (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BILSTEIN-SHOCKS-CAMARO-93-03-FREE-SHIPPING_W0QQitemZ8055234745QQcategoryZ33590QQrdZ1 QQcmdZViewItem) which do you think are better? I was thinking the KYB's were since their adjustable and i also think they look cool lol, i know looks dont make the part but i do like it haha. well ill be buying these soon and i just wanted some advice for reassurance, thanks guys! I cant wait to get my car back on the road again!

Honestly I am a Bilstein guy and prefer them because they actually came on the car from SLP, but I have heard good things about the KYBs and I don't think you can make a bad choice with either brand.

Thanks for the advice! Yeah i really like bilsteins too, but the reason i've been leaning towards the KYB's is the adjustability it has, the website for it says its from 4 to 8 way adjustable, depending on the application, which would be nice, since if i didn't like how soft it felt i could just tune it to a firm ride. And its said to be able to adjust on the car in minutes which also sounds good! Thanks again!

I've not heard much about the KYB shocks, but I have heard that the Bilsteins don't do well with lower springs being used unless you buy the revalved ones that Sam Strano sells and there a little more expensive.
