    It doesnt state whether they are valved for being lowered or just the HD ones.

    +1 one for Tokico sucking. My friends dad works for a company that sells them to ricers and he says they are the worst thing he has seen.

    Koni can blow, all traditional shocks can blow. You could just replace the seal though, they are a worthy shock.

              Yea its a paxton and it came with the motor so i couldnt turn that down.
              The sellers seems to just want to sell those shocks and just saying they will work. What do they look like tourings?

                All I see is a picture of a bilstien logo. No way of telling.

                Bavauto sells them, along with a few other places. Going rate is around $400

                      If money is no object why are you even asking? You should just be buying new Konis, they are easily the best option for your application.

                          how the hell do you blow a koni? unless you rupture the strut tube itself, I don't see how it's possible. the only thing inside a koni is a spring washer and a bolt that uses its torque to adjust the valving. I guess you could also bottom it out, but I don't see that happening in an E30, unless you jump the car or something..

                                Even Jay at Ground Control believes that the Bilstiens are a better design. They sell Konis because they are much easier to work with (from a company stand point).
