Any other good shocks besides Bilstein?

So I've got some Vogtland springs on the way. Are there are any other good shocks that I should check out before spending mucho deniro on some Bilstein Sports?

Bilstein Sport and Koni Sport shocks are good. Anything else that is good or better costs more than those.

The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.
