Default Anyone use Bilstein shocks?

so i see a lot of you honda folk use konis and just wondering if any use bilstein and how they compare? i have always found konis to begin leaking and then blow while bilsteins just work. however, i have bilstein sports in my scirocco which i love (i've blown so many konis on these cars, it's ridiculous), but when i installed bilsteins on my porsche (after my second set of konis failed), i was disappointed with the softness (but they only come in HD for this car).

i like konis ok when they work but just tend to blow them. whith that said, i just found a pair of rear koni sports for my alfa milano at the pick a part and for less than $20, i'm not going to turn them down. love the improvement they made and hopefully they don't blow.

just curious as to similar results in the honda world.

thanks

Koni's have a lifetime warranty. Are you buying used shocks are something?

Is the car modified or anything? Koni's are argurably one of the best shocks for the money. Bilsteins a good shocks too.

I have no expensive with them in honda's but all 3 of my freind's VW's had them. They were great.

Bilstein's have lifetime warranty as well. They are great, but they don't have adjustment.
