Default Koni Shocks w/ stock springs 86.5

Is this a decent street setup? I have gone Bilstein before on other applications and disappointed at dampening over rough surfaces. Opinions?

I have the adjustable Koni's (stock springs) on my 87 S4 and they work beautifully. I put them on full soft when I drive on the street and when I go to the track I stiffen them up. I highly recommend them. I do not have any data on ride harshness other than on full soft they ride no worse than stock and the car feels better.

I love the externally adjustable rebound for tuning the handling for corner entry and corner exit.

Default Well they are on the way

Tirerack having a special for $146 each. Seems like a nice price and I am pretty certain the shocks that are on the car are original with 131,000 careful miles.
I am sure I will be combing the threads for install help. I wouldn't have considered buying this car without this forum.
So far have done TB/WP, fixed power seat( still one to go). fixed fuel gauge, replaced fuel hoses, installed RMB, X-pipe, 87 FPR, cats deleted, smog pump delete, Porken chip, Boxster S lobsters 8 x 19s w/235 35s and 9.5 x 19 w/ 265 35 PS2s.
I have done all this on a car I have driven about 60 miles so far. For now thanks to you all. Maybe later I will blame you.
