Koni vs. Bilstein vs. ?

[steved0x]

I am actually taking my Boxster to Sebring at the end of April. It has been on street duty the last 3 years but going back to the track

[986 Boxster]

I have both set ups. I have Koni Special Active with H&R Sport springs and I like them much better than the Bilstein B8`s with Eibach Pro-Kit springs. To me, the ride of the Special Active is much more smother over uneven pavement, and there's no body roll compared to the B8`s. Your alignment also has a bit to do with the handling.
Read up on both and see what you like or don`t like. Remember, your the one that has to make the final decision , GL.
Here`s some info on the Konis

That sounds really rad with the 2 frequencies. I wonder how they do that.

It beats me, but it sure works really good.
I have been a Bilstein guy all my life, and when I was looking for a new suspension for the Boxster I did I bit of research on both struts and I was really impressed with the Konis technology. They have changed a lot from the old days. I just hope that they last as long as the Bilsteins.
