What are the pros and cons of each, they will be going on my 86, i am looking for all around performance, both for the strip and road?

Anyone have experience with either of the two

I'm using Koni adjustables on the fronts, am very happy with them. At the stiffest setting it is a bit harsh for the road, but on the track they do work great. Am using KYB gas adjust on the rears.

 

I have bilsteins and there are some cons
they are expensive and non adjustable.
but
they are the best mono tube shocks you can buy and have a lifetime warranty and generally last for like 10 times longer than most shocks.
I have always wondered what adjustable shocks would do for me but I only would want to be able to set the konis stiffer than the bilsteins I have. however I think that the bilsteins are as stiff if not stiffer than the highest setting on the konis.

I have run the same set of Bilsteins since 1987. The lifetime warranty states 99% effiency AFTER 100,000 miles. Mine perform the same as they did when I bought them, and that's on a lowered car. These Bilsteins are not to be confused with the Delco/Bilsteins that were standard equipment on early IROC's. Those were junk.
