Wondering about Koni as well, but I've heard that they are actually a bit stiffer than bilstein ?
I've actually heard the opposite, that Bilstein Sport is one of the stiffest riding dampers on the market and that Koni is considerably softer.

If I remember correctly, someone described the H&R race as "welded to the frame," with the Sports being more compliant, and hte Eibach being the softest.
Very well could be. I'm anal when it comes to make sure products were made specifically for my vehicle though, which is why I went with H&R and not Eibach.
