New shocks-suggestions

Hey guys. I am looking to get some new shocks because I'm preparing for my turbo and I need better handling. This is what I'm getting as other parts of my suspension upgrade-

Springs-Eibach Prokit
Tires - Kumho Ecsta MX 225/40/18
Rims - Sport Max Racing 962 18x7.5

Here's the deal-I want to be able to handle decently well, but I don't want to sacrafice a ton of comfort in the process. This will be my daily driver when I'm home from college and might be taken on longer trips so I really don't want to be as stiff as a board. I wan to keep as much confort as I can but still get better handling than stock. I understand I'll have to give up some comfort to get beter handling, I jsut don't want my ride to be horrible. I'm between the kyb agx, bilsteins, and koni yellows. I like the adjustability of the koni's and kyb's, but the bilsteins name is great. Im not going to get teins so don't even bother talking about them lol. I jsut want to know out of these 3, which one you guys think would cater to my needs best. thx guys

yea, the pics are over in the photo gallery, someone photoshopped them on my car too. I've pretty much decided on the koni yellows with the sportline springs.

Sixfifty-I have been looking for teins and I'll go with them if I can find a good set for under $700 lol, which is pretty much a joke. I would get the basics, but I want the adjustable shock and they don't have adjustable, where as the koni yellows do. And the turbo won't be getting here til summer of 08 what set-up do you have, what are you pushin?
