If you already have Konis on the rear, you might as well get them on the front. The Bilsteins are nice though.

I have koni's all around. A bit pricey for those struts, but I love the ride. I got them from summit. I cant compare it to anything else, though. Ive never riden in anything w/ Bilsteins.

I just put my Bilsteins in yesterday. They made a huge difference. The size of the piston shaft is almost double the stock size and very beefy. You can hear and barely feel the bumps through the steering wheel, but the car does not move.
