need some new shocks, lowered my car bout 3 months ago and cant stand the bumpyness. I know koni are the best and i've read all the threads on konis vs kyb on celica.net. konis give better handling then kybs, but as far as ride comfort is involved with my current stock shocks and lowered suspension am I going to notice much difference with kyb vs konis? I imagine the ony difference would be handling characteristics while driving aggressivly. Any input?

suspension work always means more bumps. koni's ride great, but they ride hard at the bottom setting and extremely hard at the top setting. now, koni's were really designed with autocross/track racing in mind, so if you turn them up and get on a good road, man, it's amazing. but bad roads suck baaaaaaaad. i'd go with KYBs, they will doubtless be more forgiving.
