Well I had to get 2 new Koni struts for mine because I blew one out on a giant pothole over the summer, does that count?

Struts are Koni yellows made in Holland. I am confident they are higher quality than most anything else off the shelf.
Pros: higher quality
Vehicle:
Subaru Legacy
I've had several sets on many VW over the years , rocking them on my mk4 tdi now .
Pros: long-term satisfaction, reliable performance
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
If you want to keep the stock ride height, you can probably save the stock springs and run Koni Yellow struts and shocks for a slightly sportier ride.
Pros: sportier ride
Vehicle:
Fiat 500
Something else to consider are Koni Reds. I coupled them with Neuspeed Sport springs. The struts are variable response so they absorb the small bumps, like the expansion joints on freeways, but stay stiff for corners.
I had one fail inside the warranty period and Koni made it an easy exchange. No other issues.
Pros: easy exchange, variable response
Cons: one fail inside warranty
Red is a great upgrade if you're keeping the factory ride height, they ride MUCH better than the factory Bilsteins.
Pros: great upgrade, much better ride
Just purchased a set of front Koni STR.T for my Son's 08 C30 T5 2.0 M66. Bilstein are in the back. Had the resources to upgrade suspension parts in the late 80's and Koni has been the best thus far compared to Bilstein, Gabriel, KYB and Monroe on various makes.
Pros: Koni has been best
Vehicle:
Volvo C30
They make Koni Yellows for the MK1. I loved them on my Corrado SLC. The Koni Yellows for the Corrado SLC were entire struts for the front. I set them right in the middle on stock springs. They were comfortable and it handled as well as my '78 Scirocco on +0 wheels and tires. I like that you could tighten them up if you wanted them stiffer or soften them for a cushy ride. Right in the middle was comfortable on the potholed streets of Hampton Roads but it still cornered like it was on rails.
Pros: comfortable, cornered like rails
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Corrado
the stock struts were blown out and the car was pogo'ing on large bumps at around 65k mi. Not sure how hard or careless the first owner was but I've never had struts go bad this early but I just replaced with Koni struts and H&R Sport springs. Otherwise, its been running like a champ with all major service kept up
Pros: running like a champ
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 104607 km
The Str.T is fine for a mild upgrade over OE. I've had them on my car for about 10 years now. I live in Texas, so rust is not an issue. However , if I were doing it all over again, I would spend more for the Koni Sport (Yellow), as I think the Str.T is a touch softer than I would have preferred.
Pros: mild upgrade over OE
Cons: touch softer than preferred
