im looking for the stiffest shocks/struts. ride quality is of no importance to me. i just want stiff. coilover setup would be considered also. please let me know. i have Tokico Blues now and they arent as stiff as i was hoping. since day 1 i regreted not saving for some illuminas or somthing stiffer. anyone?

Well, I for some reason hear the Koni fans jumping in here any moment.

If you really want the best, try something fully adjustable like Strange or QA1 10 way adjustables. Or, you can try the Tockico 5 way adjustables.

bilsteins, even the MM2 spec valved are going to be softer.... now i would personally take the bilsteins over any other damper... but he wanted stiff... so i would suggest the tokico D-spec, or Qa1
