Bilsteins are good shocks, especially for stock springs, but they are not really up to the task of dampening higher rate, lower springs (and will supposedly wear out quicker than normal then).
Koni SAs offer quite a bit more rebound dampening (will better control the higher rate springs with less travel) lasting longer and giving way better handling, control, feel etc.

I think you should give them a shot...I just recently went to the eibach pro kit springs and the bilsteins hd from the ones that came with the car...they were the standard orange and stock springs..I do notice a big difference but if these don't last like mentioned I think I will give strano and koni's a shot...I got a good $$$ and on a budget that's y I went with the eibach and bilsteins...If you have the eibachs then maybe go with something else...

Eibachs on GTO's are known for killing shocks and struts.
