Best shocks

OK, I am going to swap out my shocks and struts in my 84 Z-28.

I like the KYB for other cars, but don't hear much about them for 3rd gens.

What is the best shock? Keep in mind I'm talking for driving, not drag strip stuff.

The best shock is Koni. But they are expensive.

From what I have seen on this board the Koni's and Bilsteen are the best.

KYB for budget performance, Bilsteins for great handling (they came stock on IROC's) and Koni's are the best.

I've got the Monroe Sensatracs on my T/A. And for daily drivers, and mild performance aplications, they work great. But, I bought the car with them on. I'd agree that Konis are the best, and although they are expensive, they are warranted for life.
