Most are selling them for $180 each for rears and $210 each for fronts. Expect to pay about $780 for a set of four. If you can find them for less, that's a good deal.

They are about $250 more than the D-Specs. There are several threads about the warranty problems with D-Specs. Here's the difference in a nutshell. If you have a problem with D-Specs you must send them back to the retailer and the retailer has to send them back to the manufacturer for evaluation before refunding or replacing. I wonder if a lot of smaller retailers can afford to eat the expenses of this while waiting for a decision from Tokico. For Koni's the end user contacts Koni directly and they take care of it.

D-Specs hit the market first so they have the advantage. I've noticed that people with deep enough pockets who originally purchased the D-Specs are switching to Konis. I wanted to wait until there were more players in the ajustable shock market place as I had a bad experience with Rancho 9000 shocks on my '96 Bronco.

Not seen much about the Bilsteins, but with a set of 4 running north of $600, you might as well spend the extra coins to get the Koni's.

Seems like a deal. Koni is a great brand. I'm not going with adj. either when I replace mine.

I have read nothing but good things about those STR.Ts and you definitely can't beat the price for a set with a lifetime warranty!
