Bilstein Sports or Koni FSD
I know these two shocks have been beat to death but I want to know if you had a choice between only these two which would you go with and why? Can't make up my mind on which to go with.

As with any modification, it depends on what you want to do with the car...
You get what you pay for....
For real performance I'll take the Konis...

Just a heads up. I just ordered the Bilstein Sports from shockwarehouse.com for $304 delivered. Thought I would save you some time trying to find the best price. Now you owe me.

If money is not an option, Koni FSD's hands down. There are a few threads here floating around on the koni vs. bilstein debate, and Koni's are much better (and expensive). People here will only recommend what they spent money on, regardless of the other product's knowledge.

I don't know the difference in price, but if I had to do it over I would do the KONI FSD's in a heartbeat!
I've had mine for about 9 mo./20,000 miles.
Thanks LAPD for a great deal!

I went Bilstein for the value. Under $300 for a set of four is a smoking deal given the return that they give.

I PERSONALLY BELIEVE THE SUSPENSION SPRINGS SHOULD SUPPORT THE CAR NOT THE SHOCKS ..
SHOCKS SHOULD DAMPEN AND GIVE YOU A NICE RIDE AND STICK THOSE TIRES TO THE ROAD!

The technology of the Koni FSD's will give you as good of handling as the Bilstein's, but a much, much smoother ride over rough surfaces. They are well worth the extra money.
