Best Street type shocks?

Ok now i realise that this may seem like it should be in the suspension section however its is something aimed fairly at the guiys driving street trucks. I feel the suspension section is more aimed at the off road style of gear.
My question is this. Now we all know that PRG gear is just about as good as it gets as far as playing in the wild outdoors.
However as I dont want to have the truck built for that , more the racetrack than anything I am asking you street guys what you have found as the best all round on road shock. Are the RADS from PRG going to win this one too?
I wanna hear from all you guys with Mall Crawlers Street Queens or whatever you wanna call them but the guys who have built their trucks to handle in an on road situation.

Dude be patient, Fulcrum Suspensions are putting together a kit from Tein, should be available in a couple of months or so. They are similar to the Teins that are already available for Hilux and Triton i.e design more for street with handling/cornering/looks in mind Fulcrum Suspension. Once there're on the market they should be available via any Tein distributor.

I had Tein in my last ride and when I enquired about them for the Navara(this was 4 weeks ago) my suspension shop here car gave Fulcrum a call and was told they were currently doing R&D on the Tein kit fitted to a D40 and once that was completed they would go to manaufacture which would take a couple more months. My source is reliable and Fulcrum do know their stuff(had my last kit modified by them specific for my supension setup).

I know Penski said the Radflo's were way more secure feeling on road when he had his sway bar off compared to the OEM's.

it's all about valving, get the radflow or saws and have stiffer springs and valing put in on them. With the radflow or saws you can rebuild them and tune them.

Smile Tein

my 97 200sx se-r has been on the Tein SS setup for a couple yrs now. this is it's 4th suspension setup (2nd coil over) so far. i'm quite pleased with the Tein's and look forward to seeing what they come up with for the Fronty.
the Tein's are also rebuildable and custom revalveable to your specific spring rate.
