I just put bilstein sports on my 87, from elephant. Firm ride but smooth. All I know is that install was easy.

What kind of ride do you want.

Street or track?

Street use HD front Sport Rears ( you can still use for track )
Track Sports all around, kinda rough for a daily.

Bilsteins

I was told to use a stiffer shock in front, since I am running 23 front and 30 back solid torsion bars. Sport front and HD in rear. Just don't know what sport shock to run. I don't care about ride ,just want car to handle well.Has 20/18 Sway bars. 2500lbs.Widebody.

Do a search for Hotbits shocks. It's a great adjustable option!

Has anyone tried both the Bilsteins and Koni sport? I was told better to to run the Koni with lowered car because it was shorter to avoid shock bottom out. From what I know the only difference is the Koni is adjustable. What do you think? Decisions Decisions. Ready to pull trigger on buy botton.

I have Koni sport externaly adjustable shocks. I have found that the adjustability is a nice feature for fine tuning at the track.

You should ask this question on the AX forum. Probably get many opinions there.
