I've used both and although the tokico's can be dialed into a more stiff setting than the bilsteins, they won't last. You should really think about what you're going to do with them - if its simply street driving, I'd go Bilstein. If its track, I'd probably still do Bilstein. If you're willing to spend a few more bucks, go to Koni Sports. I run these now and wouldn't use anything else, at least off-the-shelf.

you could go konis but thats just if you want the adjustability. the bilsteins will handle your spirited driving just fine physically but if you like a dif feel then konis

iirc shox.com has good prices. I havent priced shocks in a while so I may be mistaken

You can go to my site too :). I'd stick with Bilsteins based on what you're using these for.

God I had non adjustable tokico's on may car and that was a waste of money. I think I had to replace 3 of them at different times because they leaked. I have the Bilstein sports now and they are awesome very durable.
