just getting around and not very sporty, the Boges are much more comfortable, but if you drive it hard and really have fun with the car, the Bilstiens are firmer and control the cars weight much better, they also are better for highway speeds where as you want a steadfast, well footed setup to handle fast lanechanges and brake control, The Bilstien HD made a major difference at highspeed control and confidence! The other great thing is that they will virtually never wear out! If you still are not sure which to get, think about Koni adjustables which can be tuned from cushy cadillac ride, to race track stiffness! Koni is a great quality shock as well and if in time they begin to get softer than you like,you can just turn the knob one more degree stiffer!
