I've been very happy with the work Bret did with the Bilsteins on my BMW. He just finished another set for a friends M3 with equally good results.
edit: Steve Abbott just had a nice set of Bilsteins installed on his Vette, you might want to talk to him if its for your Vette.

And they did George D's rally shocks for his winning Civic. He was tired of spending many $1,000's on high end shocks, so he wanted to prove, and he did, that one could win in Rallying on lower end shocks.
Here's a nice article on the special award George received:

The "lower" end shocks work well for autocross too.

Bob is this for your BMW or Corvette? I run PSS9's on my M3 and they do great!

For the Vette.
I have some good da koni's on the BMW, Proparts custom built. Maybe I'll sell them if my son doesn't start autoxing the car. Too much shock to waste on a street car.
