Re: schock/strut poll
FWIW, I like my Bilsteins, but have no experience with any of the others.

Re: shock/strut poll
Well i run Koni's on my 90 maxima, and just bought a set of KYBs for the Camaro.
Bilstein is a very good company, but i think their offroad and truck shocks are a lot better than their car/sport shocks. (personal opinion mind you)
As in regards to KYB GR2s, not sure how much of a problem they are with the Camaro, but with a lowered Maxima they avg a year before blowing a seal.
I've never used Tokico, but I know plenty of people who use them. They are a decent shock and most people are pleased. They also seem to stand up a lot better to lowered vehicles.

Re: shock/strut poll
I am running Bilsteins and like them alot, they were better than the KYBs I had previously. The Bilsteins work well as a performance street shock.
As for Tokiko and Koni, no experience there so I didn't vote..

Re: schock/strut poll
I haven't tried aftermarket shocks. But I must say that the Bilsteins they put in the C4 Corvettes were great.
