I have Bilstein struts up front and I love them also. Soon the back KYB's will be replaced.

They look mean too. I compared them to my old KYB's before installing them, the shaft coming out of the Bilstein's made the KYB's look like pencils. They just look like they could take any sort of abuse you could give them.

I'll chip in here, I have a '91 T/A with Bilstein's, a '91 GTA with Koni's. Comfort wise, the Bilstein's are nicer, less brutal. Cornering wise, the Koni SA are superior, they barely deflect, while the Bilstein are noticeably softer. Not a big difference, but noticeable. Depending on what you value more, Bilstein offers better comfort, Koni's better all out handling.
