Illumina or Koni hands down. Mild street use would be ok for KYB or Tokico HPs but frankly they don't last, not firm enough, and you can't adjust the dampening.

What Konis would you use? I am trying to talk myself out of putting air on the car and just stick with my springs.

If you get them for pretty cheap and don't plan on going very low they should be fine. I've heard that they blow fast just what I've heard from friends.
