Which one is good for mainly highway driving?
1. Stock
2. OME
3. Bilstein

Any place I can purchase at good price?
Any opinion will be greatly appreciated.

From what I have heard......stay away from Bilstein. They tend to pull. I just put on a new OME. So far so good.......time will tell though, but from what I have heard they are great. And the price is right......got mine from Nathan Crabtree for under $50 I think.

Ditto on the Bilstein. Stay away from it, I have heard good things about the OME.

I have the OME and it works very well. No bump steer and no feedback when going over rough roads. I just trashed mine on a tree (don't ask), so I am having John at RoverTym make me up a custom relocation kit for the steering stabilizer. This will put it in the same location as a D90 and make it much harder to damage. If you are making a change anyway, why not move it up front? John charged me $75.00 for the kit. Rockware charges about $100.00 for the same kit.

LoL,
Mike

I've gone from original to TJM Series 2000 to Bilstein - only the Bilstein fixed my steering shimmy problem - no pulling to one side or the other either - check your wheel alignment. There is a high gas pressure in the Bilstein (probably why they work so well) but if your steering is set up right I don't reckon it should pull either way.
