I think it's worth the cost to upgrade to Konis.
And the BMR and Strano springs are very similar in terms of rates. ~550/150
And I don't know for sure, but I would imagine the Konis would dampen and provide a better ride on the 550 springs vs the Bilsteins (unless they are revalved). I just don't know if the stock Bilsteins can handle that sort of spring comfortably.
Also, the Konis are twin tube design.
Bilstein is a monotube design.
I like the twin tube on the street...

Viking is nothing special, the guy running the place is from QA1, and you know all the products sure look familiar. Same "adjsutment" at the bottom of the shock, meaning it's not got any effect on what the piston is doing, you are simple changing how much oil is forced from the inner chamber to the outer instead of changing how the oil flows through the piston itself. The two methods result in very different damping results.
