shock comparison

can anyone give me a good rundown of high's and lows on several shocks as I am about to replace mine, I am also replacing my springs with eibach pro-kit springs and ordering a energy suspension hyper flex kit.

KYB GR-2 or gas-a-just,Edelbrock Ias,Koni,Billstein don't figure I can afford the last two.

Does anyone know exactly what pieces come in the energy suspension kit

do the polyurethane bushings squeak and what is the difference in linear and progressive rate springs like the eibach that I was planning on ordering.

Get the Billensteins. My car freakin outhandles a porsche and ferrari. Those polyurethane bushings are garbage. Not really necessary all around.Good for lower control arms,torque arm,panhard bar, or sway bars maybe even the A arms. Other than that dont add anyother poly bushing due to the fact youll be getting to many squeeking noised that will anoy the hell out of u. Hope this helps

KYB's are pretty good shocks for the money, they arn't adjustible despite the name though. You might want to look into Tokico shocks before you make a decision. They make adjustable ones that used to be cheeper than the Konis and they are great in quality. Eibach springs, good choice.
