I'm going to tell you to search, simply because this has been discussed so many times. Also, read the big-azz "attnetion" sticky as to why I'm close to just deleting your post. Never the less, here's the quick and dirty:

S. Tech/AGX combo is probably the most used, and suggested combo because it works exreemly well for street cars

AGX/RS*R race is better for more spirited/track duty cars that don't want to go coilovers, but you have to set the AGX's on higher settings because the springs have a higher rate.

Koni's shocks>KYB AGX, but don't offer adjustability in the rear IIRC (on the car).

KYB GR-2s are good for a 'semi-stock upgrade' but shouldn't be paried with anything stiffer than an eibach prokit, because they'll fail prematurely.

You sometimes have to be a bit more creative than "shocks and strust" try searching for "suspension setup" etc..either way, I gave you the information you'll find
