Default Shocks and stabilizer

Well I pulled the handle for the Bilstein HD's and a KYB stabilizer for $247 for my '96 XJ. Just doesn't seem to be much out there in the way of opinions and advice on shock choice. To me it seems it's got ALOT to do with the subjectivity of "ride quality".

the steering stabilizer doesnt do much, but youll definitely notice a huge improvement with the bilsteins. bilsteins rock, end of story.

Yea I'm sure they're good BUT I got an e-mail last evening that the rear Bilsteins were backordered until Nov! Switched to the Monomax.
