Default Eibach Pro-Kit springs... Which Shock? Koni, Bilstein, Eibach?

I know the Eibach are designed to work with the eibach spring. I just don't know a lot about their shock.

Konis, Oil filled, a bit softer ride.

Bilstein, gas filled, a touch harsher.

This car will be 95% street.

Opinions?

Default I'd say go Eibach if you can get them, otherwise, I'd run Bilstein's...

...the KONI's are comfortable, but I like a little more sport in my ride.

Default I don't like coilovers. The inner ricer in me will come out and I'll SLAM the car...

plus I'm way too lazy to adjust equal heights.

Oh, and there's nothing that pisses me off more than frozen adjustment rings.

Eibachs are usually matched with Bilsteins, no?

When I finish the Vogtland C/Os, you can try them out. Next GTG maybe?
