I've installed the Koni sport shocks on the rear of my Aero, and while they aren't bad, I'm just really disappointed in the build quality of them. I've already had one shock go bad in less than two years. Sure, Koni replaced it through the warranty, but that was a major pain to have to rip out my suspension again, confirm one shock had gone bad, put my old shocks back in, pay for shipping to send it to Kentucky or someplace, and wait a couple weeks for them to send me a replacement shock, and then go through the motions all over again to reinstall them. Adjustment of the Koni sport shocks are really really lame, too. Have to take the whole thing apart to do it, and the "adjustment" is really vague. I tried my best to turn the adjustment equally on both sides, but they didn't quite feel matched up between left and right.
In conclusion, I really don't think the stock Aero shocks are that bad. In retrospect, I probably would have saved my money, and replaced them with OEM Aero shocks when they went out.
