Bilsteins or Koni's?
I talked to Bilstein today and they told me to expect their product in about 4 to 6 months. I came across the Koni's today. What would you do?

between the two, i'd go with koni's. i really liked the koni's in my e34. common complaint of bilsteins is they're too stiff, and i have seen some cases of cars not being as low with bilsteins probably because they're high pressure shocks. for a little more for the koni's, you get adjustability and a nice ride.

Thanks Rob! I had Koni's before also, but I've wondered about the Bilsteins. Now I have to devise a plan to...buy them

I think there is at least one German online store on this board? I can't believe it would be too hard to find a place in Germany that sells Koni's, if not, the Bilsteins are already out in Germany! Danny
