definitely are ! had bilstein sports and eibachs on my 300zx, bilstein comforts on the SHO and have the a lowered sport setup on my 190e currently.. the shocks last a very long time and don't become bouncy twd's the end of their 'limited lifetime warranty' period lol ... I've had good luck in the past w/ Koni adjustable sports, but when investing in something as crucial as a ride or retaining stock to better than stock characteristics, bilsteins ftw imho
