bilsteins vs. kyb

[Rokas Reipa]

Hey everyone. The ride on my 93 100s has gotten beyond nauseating. Looks
like it's time to do shocks/struts. I have always been a fan of bilsteins;
two of our family cars have them and they're fantastic. However, with my
student budget, I would almost need to get a small loan to be able to buy
them...a set of four bilstein shocks/struts is 400$. However, a set of 4 KYB
gr-2's is half the price. I can afford the KYB's. I cannot (yet) afford the
Bilsteins. I want a firm ride that will last and I know bilsteins last a
long time. Should I wait till I can afford bilsteins or should I go ahead
and get the KYB's now? KYB's are supposedly manufactured using the same
techniques/processes as bilsteins. Opinions? Thanks,

Rokas
