Bilstein HD failing. Try Koni FSDs?

Till now I've had great satisfaction with the Bilstein HD shocks installed on the rear of my 1999 SE V6 (still love this car). This summer, running back and forth to the cottage with full loads, I felt a bit too much rear bounce. Sure enough, the passenger rear bounces noticably more than the driver side when I bounce the car at each corner.
I am thinking since the front struts are still original with 154,000 km on the car, it might be time to do all 4 corners. I see the Koni FSDs are sold in complete sets and if I ever con$ider them, it would be now. I have upgraded in the past to the AERO swaybars but intend to keep the stock springs.
I really like the idea of the FSD's claimed improved comfort over bad pavement while preserving the stable handling. Notwithstanding Herb Hirch's FSD strut noise issue in another current thread, has anyone put a full set of 4 on their older 9-5? How do you like them?
Also, I see the FSD sets at The TireRack and Shox.com. Anyone know of a source on the Canadian side of the border?
Thanks,
Reg
