Depending on what springs you are running, I would suggest stiffening up your Konis by adjusting the valving. This will give you a stiffer feel than any Bilstein if you want that. I personally purchase Bilstein Sports for my E28 and then after 8k miles found that the front upper seals were blown and then put in Konis and I would never go back. Once you adjust them and tune them to where you want you will see what I am talking about. But until then, I agree that the Konis are not as stiff as the Bilsteins, but they are not designed to be, that is why you can make them stiffer by adjusting them.

Just my '02 cents
