I'm with Martin, Konis sucked for me, hated them beyond believe when I lived
in New York. They would bottom out routinely in potholes causing a terrific
thump. AFAIK only the rebound is adjustable on Konis, not the down stroke.
Bilsteins are a million times better. I use them on my daily driver UrQ with
the stock springs with no complaints.

Ben,

If you don't want abusive then stay away from Koni, I had the Yellows and
hated them.  On the firm setting they were beyond rock hard.  On the soft,
the compression was soft, but rebound hard..  just could not find a
comfortable setting.

Bilsteins have the best compromise between firm sporty feeling and still
handle pavement issues with ease.
