I have an two 84 Alfa Spiders. One with Bilstein's one with Sachs Sport
Shocks
which are similar to Koni Red but a little less stiff.  The Bilsteins appear
to raise the car height and therefore the car is much less fun to drive and
stable at speed (in my opinion)...  Can't wait to sell the Bilstein's on
Ebay...

So my reference would be not to buy them....
