Be sure to check your front lower A-Arm bushings for cracks, separation, and deterioration -- if they are, replace those too and get an alignment. You can see them best when the shock is removed and the arm is in the down/limp position. Be sure to snap photos. This, as I discovered when I had mine replaced, can make the car much firmer up front.

The Konis come with a lifetime warranty as I understand it...do the Bilsteins come with any warranty? Thought I read somewhere that they did come with a warranty in reference to a different kind of car...

Dude you got to read up more on your car, its hard to follow you and help when you don't know what your talking about fully. This site alone has a massive amount of knowledge just clicks away. Don't be that guy who just keeps taking the lazy post a thread way to find information that's been recycled constantly on this site alone.
Clickity click click click!
And I'm not trying to be a douche, I just feel for the guys who put time and effort into tutorial threads for questions just like this. Before I went when my spring/strut setup I had over 5 windows open reading tech threads about setups and whatnot, and like everyone else most of this stuff is on a budget!
