 Definately.Every bit as good as Bilstein but with a more plesant ride.
 Billys can be a rather stiff ride.Not everybody's cup of tea...
 Finding a Koni stockist in the US seems to be difficult thing
 apparantly...
 Konis have never given me any trouble on rough or corrugated dirt
 roads and I find myself on such roads quite often.
