As it says, which brand shock/strut do you like best and which sub-brand/model?

Bilstein w/H&R Race springs... I had Tokicos w/Eibach springs but my new setup blows my old suspension away.

After a lot of research, I recently bought Bilstein's and MM coilover up front and H & R race springs out back. If the performance is as good as the build quality of these things, it's money well spent.

Yeah I love Bilsteins. I've got them at all corners of my truck and have for about 40k miles, I gained so much control that I took off the sway bar mainly for offroading purposes and it still feels better and I have a lot less body roll. I'de love to spring for them on the stang' but they are about 2.5-3 times as much as truck shocks. How well do the Koni's or the KYB's hold up? Anyone tried the Monroes? I hate to get them but I can get each for about $15-$20, I figure anything is better than riding with shocks that have holes in them

Keep the suggestions coming please.

This will be my set up. I already have the H&R torque arm spring in the rear.
