The car's ride is plush, controlled and compliant over bumps. They make the handling predictable, and don't beat you up like the KYB's I had on at first. Bilsteins are excellent too, but I have to give the edge to Koni's. 8074814-753013-R1-044-20A_013(Medium).jpg (49 downloads) 1970 Plymouth 'Cuda #'s 440-6(block in storage)currently 493" 6 pack, Shaker, 5 speed Passon, 4.10's 1968 Plymouth Barracuda Convertible 408 Magnum EFI with 4 speed automatic overdrive, 3800 stall lock-up converter and 4.30's (closest thing to an automatic 5 speed going)

I have used Bilsteins on several of my other vehcicles and really like these especially the 2-way damping.. The Konis work well but now the Bilsteins are available as well.. Just my $0.05...
