I just came across 'Special Active Lowering Kit' from Koni (Link) while reworking my suspension setup for something more daily friendly. I was dead set on Bilsteins B12 Pro-Kit (Link) for quite some time. And then, Eibach Pro-System Kit (Link) as an alternative.

These Konies sure sound interesting claim to be 'adaptive'. (Link)

Unfortunately I can't find much info other than two links above. Are they self-adjustable like mono-tube Bilsteins??

 

I've been checking these out for a few months. American Muscle are selling the rear shocks (sold out) only and not listing the front struts to be sold, yet. Not many reviews. My Koni (orange) are still good for a few more years. They seem to be comparing them to the magnetic dampers without all the sensors. Buy them and let us know how good or bad they are

 

I don't have any feedback or info on the Koni, but I just installed the Bilstein with pro kit springs, and I'd very happy with the new handling.

I believe the Bilstein also have some claim about their "unique valve system" being "adaptive" and changing based on the road and type of driving or something. Price was a bit higher but pretty similar from what I recall.

 

I've been waiting for the '11-14 specific front strut. Every time it gets close, the availability date slips again

 

For the Koni ?
For the Bilstein I got the shocks and springs from AJUSA, super fast shipping (I'm in CA and them and Bilstein area well so that likely helped), and at the time they had the best available pricing.

 

I like the spring perch much better on the Bilsteins. I have been extremely happy with Bilsteins. I even installed them on my DD Lincoln. The special valving does work here in the heat of AZ with zero fade. Bilsteins have been around for a very long time with a very good track record. You must buy from a approved retailer in order to have the lifetime warranty.
