Get the good shocks from the get go, so you don't have to do over everything when it's time to get more aggressive on the setup. I currently have the MM coilovers front and back, using Koni SA struts and shocks, and probably with in a year, I'm going to sell off all of the stuff, and move into MM Race valved Bilsteins. For the same money that I'm going to spend, I can also just upgrade to Koni DA, but servicing Bilsteins is so much cheaper, I'd much do that instead.

After having koni's on my last car with my Griggs SLA suspension and Roush-Bilsteins on this car, I must say the Bilsteins are built second to none, and if they wear out you can bring them down to there factory in Poway and they will rebuild them for free since they have a life-time warranty, something I'm unaware if Koni has. Go Bilstein for sure.

well, either way, having the bilstein factory local is still a huge + IMO.

next upgrade...Bilstein HD!
Yep. God forbid you want any custom work on Koni though. 155+ for Koni, around 60-80 for Bilstein. I'm getting more and more convinced that once I take the car off road for track only, I will be switching over to Bilstein.

Just wanted to contribute and say that I had both Super Sports and Race springs on 2 different cars and I must say that I prefer the feel of the Race Springs better. THey are not that stiff at all.
I followed Dmitry's and Blind's advice when I was shopping around and went with the H&R Race/Bilstein HD combo and never looked back. Just did some poly swaybar and rack bushing yesterday, with SFC's and I'm a happy camper.
