Bilsteins are still the best performers and also longest life shocks for my money. I have a set of shock on my sunny coupe that have been used on a stanza rally car for two seasons, then converted for road rates on a road stanza. They were then revalved for race use on the shell when it was turned into a club car, then again revalved for road/club level use on the sunny coupe. I originally purchased them in 1984.
They may cost more at the start, but they have outlasted many pairs of other shocks. I have Koni sport adjustables and older "D" sport shocks on other cars.
