based on my hands-on with both on a 210 platform, my preference is the
Bilstein HDs over the adjustable Konis. the Koni yellow body is the counterpart
model to the HD and it is suited for those who prefer a more compliant ride.
even at top/hardest setting, it did not produce the taunter ride I prefer. when
traversing a slalom type course, the Koni resulted in more body roll and had
less precise handling. this may be exihibited less so in the lighter 203 body...
but at least with the 210 models valving of these units prompted me to go with
the HD.
