Shocks: looking for Blistein quality at KYB price.

Alright, considering all of the advice on this thread, and the things I'm looking for in this car, and my own circumstances, I have ordered the Bilsteins and initiated the return of the KYBs.

As stated, I'm not looking to make this into a high performance car, just trying to get a nice ride and a feeling that it's going to stay on the road when operated like a car, rather than a Tilt-A-Whirl. I may improve other parts of the suspension as time goes by (at my age, either I've got plenty of time to do it, or I'll be gone next Tuesday), but for now, she'll be essentially stock.

When I have these installed, and the jury is in regarding how it feels, I'll post back on here with my opinion of whether or not I wasted a few hundred extra dollars.

While I hate wasting money, let it be said that the price difference between the Bilsteins and the KYBs is less than the cost of a one-week course of one of the medicines the vet sold us for my wife's horse last month, and didn't even bother to tell us the price of until we got the bill, and I don't even like the horse.
