I've been thinking about swapping out the Bilstein's in our new R with the

Koni's (since this will be a street/solo car as well).  Which model Koni's

are these (I have "sport yellow" adjustable koni's in my GTI, and for that

application at least there were a few other koni's available).



Any recommendations on where to buy them (and how much do they run?)



Thanks,



James
