I like them just fine. I researched shocks 'ad nauseum' a few years ago and chose the Koni's becuase they are adjustable (3 settings but they have to be off the car) and too many people remarked the Bilsteins, while very good, can make for a very firm, harsh ride. Having said this, I had to set the Koni's on the stiffest setting beause my 17"s with Kumho's rubbed on the wheel well when I hit bumps/dips...front and year. By the way I also installed intrax lowering springs.
I paid $150 Cdn each back in 2002.
I never regretted upgrading my shocks. Transformed the car from a sloppy, pitching and weaving boat in corners to 'like it's on rails'.
