Quick poll: who here would rather use KYB Gas A-just rear shocks instead of Bilstein Touring? Both are quite cheap up here in Portland (36 or 37 for the KYB and 41 for the BT and NO SALES TAX!) and I just want to know what the common consensus for most people around here was. The Bilstein Touring seem to be notorious for their mis-sized bolt hole which rattles on a lot of 240s. If I can avoid that I will; the KYBs don't have too much general criticism, but then again, all it takes is one failure. the four dollar difference is not an issue to me.

just asking, please respond if you have a strong opinion (otherwise i'm just gonna install the BTs because I already bought them).
