Bilstein B12 vs Koni Sport Suspension

[FastFour]

Is anyone running the Koni set up? Koni advertises 30mm drop front and rear. Both I'm sure are quality kits but I haven't seen much chatter about them? Just about everywhere I check is backordered for the B12 kit but the Koni kit is available now.

Not a drastic difference between them. Konis have adjustable dampening but since you have to remove them from the car to adjust them, its a mute point imho. H&R spring are good and ride nice. Are you looking for a 30mm drop? If so ECS has the B12 ProKit (35mmF, 30mmR) in stock for $687. I personally rock the B12 Sportline Kit because i wanted a bigger drop (45mmF, 35R) the look and ride is awesome. For this question i think the B12 kit is better mainly because i think the Bilstein shocks are better, yeah they arent adjustable but dont need to be, they ride awesome. BTW ajusa.com has the B12 Sportline Kit on sale for $622 with free shipping....

I made the mistake of the Koni's on my B5 S4 and I can assure you that I'll never use them again unless there externally accessible. I've got the B12 Pro kit enroute for my Avant.

I had the Koni's on my E30 M3 with a coilover setup...I ended up going to a bilstein setup on it too. Just a better system.

AJUSA has a great price but are backordered. Appreciate the feedback though. I've had koni shocks on previous cars and liked them.
