Which Shocks: Bilstein, KONI, KYB or Tokico?
Hey gang,
I'm getting close to buying shocks for my CL which has Eibach Sportline springs. I need some help choosing a particular brand/model. I'm probably getting something that is adjustable since I would like to switch from a sporty/firm ride to a smooth/forgiving ride. Right now I'm partial to KONI Yellows since they have a lifetime warranty, adjustable and most of the threads I've read seem very favorable towards them. Please answer the questions below to help me decide:
1. Which brand and model do you recommend?
2. Why that particular brand and model?
3. How much is a good price for them and where would be a good place to get them?
4. Did I leave out any other brands that are worth considering?
5. Any brands or models I should avoid? Why?
6. What shock/spring combination do you have installed on your CL and how does it ride?
Thanks for helping me out!

Koni reds are the non-adjustable shock/strut line. Yellows are the adjustables, and I think maybe even height adjustable cause you can use different perches (i think depends on the car model though), maybe somebody can add to that.

Your right R1-I have the yellows and you have two spring seat perches, I have mine set on the lower one w/ pro kit and it eliminates wheel gap, i am guessing 2 inches or more.
