And yes, they do ride better than other brands. AND perform better.
Yeah, if that's the question $216 vs $340 for avg quality vs high quality, then it seems like a no brainer. Spring the extra dough for the better stuff. If the difference was $216 vs $500 it might not be quite as clear cut, especially depending upon how much the vehicle will be used and how it will be used. I'd probably spring for the Bilsteins, but then I also tend to drive everything a bit harder than most.
