My OEMs were shot at 55k miles, I went to replace them with the $80+ Bilsteins, but Germany was on backorder to all US distributors at the time. Since the Koni was roughly the same as OEM, I went with Koni since the dampening was adjustable (but not on the car!), though I did have them installed with the lowest setting.
The ride is not too harsh, but much firmer than OEM. Koni and stock springs is a nice upgrade without upsetting passengers in the backset.
