I have a set of the regular Bilsteins and they are a big improvement over KYB. Got them from Shox.com.

I replaced the front springs on my former Diesel vanagon Westfalia with front springs from a '85 Westfalia.

The ride was improved , as well as front ground clearance.

before my front end was sagging , porpoising and bottoming out.
