[s-cars] RE: [200q20v] Need advice: Koni or Bilstein

[Fred Munro]

I'm running Koni Sports in my '94 UrS4. Over the 15,000 km I've had them,
I've adjusted wear out twice as they have gotten soft. They are now set at
half stiffness. They work well, but the wear is a PITA. I've ordered
Bilstein HDs, but they are back-ordered at Shox.com.
