For a similar price I'd certainly prefer Koni inserts with good springs for performance but you had to know I'd say that.

The Street Basis is
supposed to be an improvement over the Basics but as we all know you get what you pay for. I'm relatively happy with the Tein H Tech springs i have so if they were an improvement over those with stock struts which they would almost have to be they may work out well for me.
I am a little leary just because of the price but i still think they would be better than BC/Megan/KSport...
I'm sure the Koni's in the GC Street setup are a far superior damper and i could get those for about the same price but not sure how they would work with the Tein springs i have.
