Cool Bilstein Shocks

Does anyone have bilstein shocks, I was wondering if they are a good buy? Did it smooth out your ride?

I've heard ton's of good about Bilstein but the consensous is that they are stiffer. Even Edelbrock reccommended Bilstein as a great alternative to there IAS's. I was told that in comparing the 2, the Edelbrocks tend to deteriorate quicker when used in real heavy duty conditions and that's where Bilstein would be the better shock.

For normal commuter driving the Edelbrocks are smoother. So far I love them.
