IMHO, but I hated the Konis when I had them in my '90 turbo.  I had them with
stock springs, set on full soft (the shocks, don't get picky) and they were
much stiffer than the Tokico Illuminas I now have with shorter stiffer
springs.  Also tried the Grex suspension--nice, but hugely overpriced for a
set of springs and shocks.  One disclaimer: I don't know if Koni has made any
changes in the last few years. I tried them probably around 91 or 92.  FWIW
