KYB works for me. Now if you want to autocross or race you will want something more high performance.

I should have bought the QA-1 when I had the extra dough...but I'll be installing Bilsteins on mine sometime this year.

It was very easy to do the rears, much more so than the fronts. I went with Bilsteins in the rear and KYBs in the front. How's that for compromise?
I think the Bilsteins are better quality though, IMO.
