WHAT SHOCKS TO BUY: KYB VS Monroe VS Bilstein's

I used to sell both.Kybs have a stock replacement shock(Gr2),and a mild performance shock.(Gas adjust.).Selling Kyb,I noticed they don't really pay attention to the older cars much.They find a shock with the correct dimensions,and catalog it.Bilsteins are about as good as it gets in a bolt on shock.They spend time with valving designs,seamless tube body,and design each shock for each application.This care shows in the initial price.Damn hard shock to beat in any performance application.
