First hand experience led you to THAT conclusion? Where on earth did you drive?

My owned since new 1972 2002 is running on Koni's, has been since the first time
I had to replaced the factory shocks. This car falls into the "daily driver"
class although it's not driven daily since I rotate thru my cars so they all get
road duty and don't just sit around. The 2002 is both driven on the street and
autocrossed and I find the Koni's perfect for my use.

My owned since new 1972 Bavaria also has Konis, again, I've used Koni's since I
replaced the original set of factory shocks. This car is mainly a street car,
autocrossed only a little years ago, yet the Koni's are still great for the
street.

My other cars don't have Koni's (yet) because they don't need to have the shocks
replaced, but when it is time for new shocks, I'll sure look it the Koni's!
