The Konis may very well be the best. I have them on my other Saab 9000.
But haven't put any miles on them so I cannot comment on durability. But they were a lot of extra work to install- cut old shock, etc. In addition, I followed the advice to start off full soft on the adjustments. I progressively ended up with full hard settings front and rear. Do I need to say how little fun it was adjusting the rears? Yes, they must be removed from the car to be adjusted.
I was surprised that the Bilstein HD's on the rear completely failed, losing all oil. Within days of each other. But since I replaced them with new Bilsteins, they have lifetime warranty. So for balance, it made sense for me to order the same damper for the front of the car as well.
ordered from online store - $178ea
