Shock Decisions - Daily and AutoX
Well, my 03 Z is probably in need of a new set of shocks / struts as I'm approaching 90K miles. I purchased the car with lowering springs so it's only a matter of time before the old ones go. I have been doing some AutoX and am planning on continuing and also using the Z as my daily for the time being. So, I'm looking at a set of Koni Sports, Tokico DSpec, or Blues. I realize the latter is non-adjustable, but a cheaper option.
Konis - expensive, established brand, adjustable (impossible to find used)
DSpec - adjustable, cheaper
Blues - Differing opinions, cheapest, non-adjustable
Just trying to get some input and yes I've searched. Thanks guys.

Koni is a great choice, D specs are also good .

I did d specs once I wouldnt do it again. I rode in a koni car and the setup is worlds better in response with the springs that was on. for you I think bilstiens are a perfect shock.

I wasn't really planning on coilovers. I've heard anything in the $1000 range for coilovers are budget coilovers and therefore not worth a look. Like Tein Basic. Now I'm not an expert on coilovers, just the word of mouth from what I've been reading on the forums here. Simple generalization that might not apply to them all.

Bilstein HD were 778 from TireRack.
Why sacrifice the adjustability of the Konis and purchase the Bilsteins for approximately the same price?
