Got to say I've been very impressed with my Koni's. Up side is they are
adjustable (you set the resistance during installation). I actually put
them in 'too rigid' and had a really hard ride. I took them out to adjust
them again and the ride is great. I've only got about 20k on them, but with
a lifetime warranty, I've got a pretty good peace-of-mind feeling. I had
one fail (more so the retaining nut than the shock itself) right after
installation. Koni stepped up to the plate and cross-shipped a new one to
me without hesitation.The only down side; they're pricey at ~$100 for each
corner.
