I went to www.shox.com asked for a few quotes on things

Bilstein's are $419.00
Tokico $279.00
Tokico Illumina $479.00
Koni's are $504.00
Koni sports $554.40
KYB AGX set of 4 is $399.00
KYB (GR-2 Gas fronts and Gas-a-just rears) $169.00 Sets of 4

im mainly lookin at either the bilstiens, konis and the KYB GR-2 which i see alot of people have

are the konis worth the money?...
Ive only heard good things about the bilstiens, although not for our cars.. havent seen anyone with em... but on all other cars never heard of complaints. I dont mind the extra money for those if it will keep the front end from bouncin like all hell and

last question is being that the KYBs are so cheap... are they a dependable brand.. or are they so far below the qaulity of the bilstiens that it would be a waste?

im not sure if i made to much sense here.. but i basically wanna know if price is (in this case) a good measure of quality... which is somtimes is

Thanks fellas.. and ladies... although i dont think there are too many

All that I can tell you is that you get what you pay for.
I have Bilstiens on my car and I love them.

I agree with the sentiment expressed above as you do get what you pay for. I just prefer Konis though. Give PPI a call at (703) 742-6207 as they can beat the shox.com price and gave me free freight.
