The Konis are excellent for AX, but really impact (Ha! A damper pun!) your ride quality.
What doesn't help is that you can't adjust the rears without disassembling the suspension. Even so, with the fronts turned to full soft, they're still pretty choppy. You learn to live with it, but by comparison the big rear swaybar has no impact on ride.
When I bought my car it had the Bilsteins on it, and those rode significantly better. I could catch a rear in particular being a little lazy between the cones on occasion, though.
FWIW, I trophied at Nationals on both sets of shocks (apologies for the horn tooting, in fairness it was a low trophy both times) but given the choice to live with every day I preferred the Bilstein.
