Theres a pretty big price difference between the two and the Koni's are adjustable I believe. I just put the Bilstie Sports on my C5 the other week and they are a world of difference from the stock shocks I had on my C5.

The ride is a lot smoother and I can corner a lot harder too without feeling like im going to lose it. Im just waiting till I get there to MD to change out my Swaybars to stiffin her up.

You wouldnt believe the price to ship crap out to Hawaii, you end up paying about the same price you paid for the parts just to ship them out to Hawaii.
