I have them, no complaints. Can't say how they compare next to the Bilsteins.

Mine arrive today!!! I will let you know my impression when I get them

installed. Where are you look at them at and at what price? I just paid $1100 for mine. I thought I got a pretty good deal on them, but curious to know if I could have gotten them for less.

I like mine better than I liked my H&R's, and Koni's never had issues with their designs...

So, I'd say that they're at least AS good as the Bilstein's.

Konis work for me.

I went with Koni because a friend has them on his heavily modded A4 and I liked the feel when I drove it. It felt like a good set-up for a daily driver.

Handling is now immediate and spot-on. I am much more confident throwing the car into a tight twister. The ride is fine on New England (crappy) roads. It is definitely more stout than stock, no more nervous sway in the rear after potholes, but not kidney busting.

There are pros and cons to all brands depending on who you ask but here is my experience.
