I think it is a great idea if you have the konis to begin with - I think it is an exchange right. I have bilsteins so I didn't have the cores - otherwise I probably would've done it already. Are you thinking about doing the ride height adjustable version?

I will probably do the adjustable..but my main reason was that its a lot cheaper to replace the cartridge rather then the whole strut next time.

sox, this is an excellent modification. also, your new konis will come with lifetime warranty, which means you can have them rebuilt for free anytime and as often as you want/need in the future.
one thing to be careful with, is you'll want to preserve the front brake cooling air deflector that's on the shock tower. it really does help with brake cooling.
