Jim, Kings Win Baby! ooops!
By way of opinions about the components: I put about 80K-miles on a set of Koni's on my 91 Integra (ducks quickly!) and those are a quality product! They held up well, and I was able to basically restore the firmness at intervals by stiffening them up with the adjusters. From what I understand they can also be rebuilt when they just get too tired (so hang onto the OEM's!) for a fraction of the original cost.
I'll be looking real seriously at them after I drop the alotted $1200 or so at 120 K-miles to do Timing Belt, VCG's, seals, H20-pump, etc on my "rocket". If the wife wasn't watching so closely, and my youngest marrying in March, I'd be buying Michailo's springs and stashing them under the bed too!
