Nice, I wish you guys were near me.

You gotta appreciate that something like this could be intimidating to someone that's never done it before.

Yes, we (actually our sister company GTWORX) worked with Bilstein for a custom valved full strut for Impreza matched to RCE springs and that's something we plan on doing for the BRZ and FRS. It takes time though.

Bilstein vs. Koni is a tough call with advantages to both. Bilstein being a quality inverted front monotube with gas pressure that's easily and cheaply revalved vs. Koni being a quality twintube that's damping adjustable and has tons of support as well. I run Koni Yellows on my personal car. While some are "Koni til I die!" or vice versa I know that I would be very happy with Bilstein sports too. :)

Definitely. It can be pretty intimidating but there are a lot of DIY writeups and it isn't terribly bad, also if you can find a shop that is pretty reasonably priced it's worth it.

And FYI we don't even sell Konis so this isn't a sales pitch either.

Driving my car was enough to convince several guys with high dollar coilover suspensions to go back to a strut and spring combination. In suspension tuning, sometimes less is more, and simpler is better.
I would do Koni shocks again in a heartbeat, even if all they offered were inserts.

We will likely be offering pre-built Koni inserts for the BRZ once they become available. Depending on how much we can get the front housings for.

Offer a discount for return of OEMs, like a core charge refund? Keeps your supply higher, keeps customer cost down as well.

That is the plan as well.
