I need new shocks, Koni or Bilsteins? Options

[Jeroen]

I'll be shopping for a new set of 911 front struts soon, so I'd like to decide on what brand of shocks to use...

I'm still undecided. It'll be either yellow Koni's or Bilstein sports

I currently have the B-sports on my '87 carrera and I like them
But I've also driven Koni equiped cars, and couldn't really find much difference between them

Pro on the Bilsteins are the 'upside down' design and they won't be damaged when the suspension bottoms out.

On the other side, I think the adjustability of the Yellow Koni's would be nice feature too...

Whadda ya think???

cheers,

Jeroen

I recently had bilsteins put on my car with 100lb shocks, new bushings, and yoko avs es 100s. finally got it aligned properly. handles real nice. however,
given a choice in shocks between adj koni and bils,
i would take the koni's hand down. my 73 had the adj konis and i absolutely loved them. It was so nice being able to adjust them acording to what type of driving you were doing; long trip v perf driving.
the dif in ride i would have to say is, the bils seem abit more "bouncy/deliberate". offering very good road feel but a firm ride. the konis in comparison, if they were adj for perf driving, were stiff, but didnt have that bouncy type feel to them. I guess to properly compare, you have to have them on the same car with the same set up. but based upon the 2 cars i had, i would opt for standard konis adj, if i could do it again.
