I'm curious if anyone has ever tried the Koni's ?
Van Cafe has, or has had them for about $ 107 each.

I'm well familiar with KYB's and my normal good shock is HD Bilsteins.
( on vanagons I think  HD Bilsteins  are OK or fine, but not 'magic.'  . On
my older mercedes sedan and my 88 740 volvo turbo sedan I think they're
stellar )

So anyone use the Koni's........in 2WD, and particulariy with stock springs
?
thanks.
