going to buy some Bilsteins!
I have $450 bucks, and I think it's time to order myself a set of Bilstein shocks for my car. how will it change my ride and by how much compared to my stock Decarbons?

Since Bilstiens suck now I think you will see a significant change.

I just posted a thread a few days ago about shocks and got info on this.
Sam Strano, suspension guru and seller of Bilsteins, no longer reccomends them. Apparently they changed somehting, and now quality/performance has suffered.
Check out my thread about soft shocks, there's more info there.

You could call Sam Strano. That would be the most informative way to go. From what I have heard (from him) they completely messed up by making a new design. It was supposed to be better but wasn't.
I'd go with Koni's. I have heard good things from people. Yes its a few hundred more, but from what I have heard shocks last around 50k miles. Its worth the better ride for that small of an amount.
