Gary,
Do the rear bilsteins let you feel every bump and rattle everything in the
bus like my KYB's are now doing.  In there defense they are 3 years old and
were pretty good at first. Just wonder what a bilstein user thinks before I
make up my mind on replacing the shocks.
Thanks
Kevin

florian,
       I bought Bilsteins for the front and back.
Both heavy duty.   Fronts from the partsbin and the
rears from BD.   The fronts were a real improvement
but the rears were nothing special.
For the price difference I think you did right with
the kyb.

i started a long thread about that in some and in the
end decided to go
for
bilsteins, but since i did not have the money i ended
up with bilsteins
front and kyb back. i think the ride is great. however
if i were to do
it
again i would buy 4 bilsteins as there is regularly a
guy on ebay who
sells
a set of four for 209$ buy it now. check the archives
for the sellers
name.
good luck

florian
