Of course Koni's are the best. To answer your question, however, of you're an install and forget it kind of owner, go with the Bilsteins. If you like to tinker, go KYB. We had KYBs on a house car and they worked fine. Both similar quality with probably a slight edge to the Bilsteins.

Agreed. It depends on what you want out of the car and what your budget is but the Koni shocks would be first on my list and Bilstein shocks would be second.
