Also,what if I did the Koni's on the front 1st,with lowering springs and then getting the rears a little later..? Will that work?

Like I said before,looks like Koni's for the win,especially after what the pro(Sam)has said about them. Gave good reason to get them. Also,he gave good reason to get the Stano Springs.I was thinking about getting the BMR's,but now I think It will be Strano's. I'm trying to make my mind up..Stall 1st or dropping the car..ack!

Depends on what you want to do with the car. I can vouch for the strano/koni combo, you can't go wrong with it. I believe that the Konis are potentially. the most comfortable shock. With the perfect compression setting and a huge range of rebound adjustment you should either be able to go too stiff or not stiff enough. Unless the bilstiens has a lower compression rating and others may have a preference for lower compression, I would think the rebound could be matched somewhat closely.

Are the Koni's more comfortable than stock? Stiffer?

Much more comfortable than stock IMO. This is whats so great about them, not only do you get a dramatic increase in handling, much more feel and way better balance you also get a better ride. Its more firm than stock but less jarring. You don't get the suspension crash anymore causing rattles, and the car is rock solid. This is where the "BMW-like" comparisons come in. The car feels more like a German sports sedan where its very solid and firm but not jarring, and way easier to control.
