Koni's are adjustable, Bilsteins are not. That doesn't mean the Konis are necessarily better but may offer increased flexibility if needed. With increased functionality, usually comes increased cost. My car has Koni but I put in a set of Bilsteins in a friend's C3 Vette and they were balanced perfectly for that car. Either shock is going to be a solid choice.
