Message	better than KYB. However there is an issue with each you should know about. The Bilsteins are non-adjustable (or SELF-adjusting, if I recall correctly). And for the Koni Sports that fit our car, the rears are NOT adjustable ON the car. They must be removed and clamped in a vise (or similar) in order to make changes to the setting. (which kinda defeats the purpose of being adjustable IMO). Sidenote - Koni can modify them for you to be fully externally adjustable, but for more $$. Based on what you've told us, if your car is pristine and stock and you plan to keep it that way, then you should probably just replace the shocks with new oem and call it done.
