Default Which are better ??

Which shocks are better? The stock 00' shocks or the 4 way adjustable Koni yellow shocks. Ive got the KG/MM race springs. Im looking for a performance shock: least amount of body roll, tight responsive handling, and able to hold the road. BUT without braking the bank!!!!! Anyone have any suggestions??!!

I have Koni Yellows and I love them. The ride is not bouncy and is not too hard considering. Handling is greatly improved over stock, although I never ran the KG/MM's on the stock shocks so I wouldn't know what improvments the shocks alone made. I have mine on KG/MM Race springs as well, with the lower perch on the lowest setting.
Here is a pic





Also, how do you like the 4.77 gears? I have never heard from anyone that had these installed.

Thanks for the great response ugotmade. Im am really considering the yellows. im hearing some good things about the kg/mm and Koni yellow combo. Sounds like a great improvement especially for the price.

As for the 4.77.... Im not a dialy driver so i couldnt tell you if would be a Pain In the A$$ for everyday. But as for the weekends I LOVE EM' they are really aggresive. Pulling through the lower gears is so much fun. Also there is less clutch play (babying) coming off a light. You have to keep an eye on the rpms since 9K does come very very quickly. BUT its also a pain on interstates; driving at 70 or above the rpms are rather high. I wouldnt recomend them with any sort of FI though.

thanks

Just wondering. Why would camber change in the rear be different on each side? -2 on one and the -2.5 on the other side.
