Do you know what spring rate you will be using?
Do you need adjustable shocks?

Don't know about spring rate nick. Possibly a 700-900lb to suit 1/4 mile suspension setup? wanted to know what advantages there are in using adjustable shocks, when using heavy rear springs

Koni's are a good brand, and you will notice a difference.
Just make sure they have the foot valve modified to suit your spring rate. Probably best to speak to MadDat.

They're not konis, but I've ordered some TRD adjustables and will be matching them to a 900lb spring. Will let you know what they are like.

I run Koni reds all round. Top shocks! KYB are also good and a bit cheaper.

Forgot the Bilsteins. Another top shock can be pricey too though :)
