My new F53 has bilsteins, is it even worth it to swap out for Konis?
If you don't put a lot of miles on the coach and if the small bumps, like road joints, ect, don't bother you too much than it is probably not worth the cost to change. The Bilsteins are gas charged to 300psi which transmits all of that back to the chassis on a small bump. The Koni is NOT gas charged so the initial resistance is zero.
When I pulled my Bilsteins off and replaced them with Koni's I was looking at the long term advantages. I put 15-20K a year on the coach and after a long day on the road I appreciate the smoother ride with the Koni shocks.
