Default Switching from Bilstein to Koni

Right now I have Bilstein Sport Shocks on my 96 Lude with H&R race springs. Im tired of being bounced around all the time. I really want to order Zeal, but 2k is a lot. I am going to try Koni Yellow's first. I am weary of Koni because I have heard of valves blowing. Where can I send the Konis to be properly valved? I don't want to have to take the Konis off after they are on to send them out. Will H&R spings be okay with the Konis? Is there a spring that works "best" with Koni?

if you're gonna pop for Konis being, ~500 on all corners, why not just save the 2 bills and get Tein full suspension, just a thought.

i've had close to 12 sets of Koni's and numerous different spring combo's on each set.....and i've had two models of Tein coilovers. just save up a little more and get a set of Ground Control coilovers and u'll be set. i've never been more trusting on a suspension setup than on my Koni/GC combo hands down best stuff for the money.

If I was going to shell out the $ for Tein, I would just get Zeal and be done with it. I guess I will try the Ground control coilovers. Thanks for the help

Does anybody know the spring rates for the Koni/GC set up. I've searched, but didn't find anything. Ive heard you can get custom spring rates with gc. Any recommendations.
