with the modding you've done to your car already, why not just go with coilover's instead of lowering springs and shocks?? ...shrug.gif

and if you say no cuz of your parking spot....well, change your parking spot. lmao.gif

I thought about it too but I dont want to lower the car (i have stock spings) because my parking spot is uphill and its dangerous for the car to hit the ground.

I'm very satisfied with my Monroe Sensa-Trac struts.

Both are good brands.
I say Koni is the better brand, but KYB is a good buy for the price. You can also do a search as similar threads have been started over this in the past.

A lot of people on here have the Kyb GR2.

Which shocks are the most durable though? Koni?

The AGX adjustables are meant to be very good.

Also, I think (but I'm not 100% sure) that the Konis are just inserts; your current struts will need to be pulled apart & the Koni shock inserted into it.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
