Are you LOONY?
Not to be rude, but have you ever had bilsteins on a
car?  You say KYB's are too harsh, but then recommend
Bilsteins???  The KYB's are cadillac shocks compared
to bilsteins.  My 'rocco has bilstein HD's, and I have
to watch out for potholes for fear of having my teeth
jarred out of my head.  They are great shocks if you
are planning on taking corners in your van at 95mph,
but I personally wouldn't recommend them on a van.
Maybe if all your vanagon sees are highways (GOOD
highways), but if you ever go on dirt roads...

Also, there is the little matter of $115ish a shock vs
KYB's $26.  I know you said "if money is not an
object", but.......
