250 for a set/4 shocks is a bit much, IMO...and since I have the KYB's allready....I would like to know who else makes a shock with the same valving as the Bilsteins....

I'd wish I would have went with the Bilsteins

I'm also using the KYB "GR2" shocks with my 355 lb fiberglass spring and the rear is toooo bouncy on certain roads.

I took Van Steels advice and bought the Bilstein sports for my iron springed car. I'm sure he can tell you what's best for the composite spring. It's in his best interest to not lead you astray.

The bilstein HS's are fine for steel springs and fiberglass less than 330 lb.in. The 340 lb.in. Fiberglass springs and above require the sport to prevent bounce.
