Just run an OEM one. There arent any real differences. It is said that a perfect steering setup doesnt require a SS.

All steering stabilizers are valved 50/50. Which one you get doesn't really matter. The OME stabilizer that some of us run is probably the most expensive of all but only cuz it is well built with a steel cover that protects the shaft.

You need to investigate the cause of those shimmys and not try to mask them with a stabilizer.
