For one thing, keep it simple. Adjustables in the hands of a street driver or occasional autocrosser are not a great idea. You can do twice as much to screw up the handling of your can playing with adjustables that you will ever do to improve it. It takes a very good driver to feel out the balance of shock settings quickly enough to help, and then they would have to be adjusted for each individual condition.
KYB's, very good shocks. Operate very smoothly, even after repeated heat cycling like long road drives or back to back laps cause. The one weak point I learned about the hard way with KYB's is that they do not always have the most consistant valving. If you know of a reputable dealer that is willing to dyno your front and rear pairs to ensure they are matched, you will be in good shape. The inconsistances are at the limit though, not something you wil notice cruising down the street or on the occasional spirited trip down a country road.
Bilstein, great shocks. Bily's actually provide shock bodies to most of the industry, very very consistant valvings, very strong bodies and shafts. Their one weakness is that they are a "full range" design, which means you can bottom out the shocks and wreck them if your suspensions range of motion allows it(this is another 'ask me how I know' thing. lol)
