FYI, Bilsteins are significantly lighter in weight than Koni's.

Default bilstein will be firmer, koni will be softer. "better handling" is subjective...
no shock lasts forever...

Default Significantly lighter, I can't remember the specs by heart. Personally, i'd go with the Bilsteins
for that reason alone.

Default Re: better handling sock
I prefer Hanes because I like the bang for the buck they offer, and I don't need to go ripping around a basketball court or anything. But if you're willing to spend the money, I've heard that some Nike or New Balance athletic socks handle pretty well. Just remember, no sock lasts forever, so the extra money you spend on those sporty athletic socks might not be worth it.

Koni's sold and coming off. New model Bilsteins on the way. Thinking about some Ohlins adjustables..
