B6 vs Koni Sports

Ok I'll admit it. I am Chief Hesitant when it comes to certain things. I've got all the suspension refresh parts in my possession, but no struts/shocks yet.

I've been going back and forth for the good part of last 12 months on this. I know for sure I do not want to lower the car, so coilovers or lowering springs + B8s are confidently out of consideration.

Then I was convinced I should go with B4s and saved up for those, but now I'm not so sure. I helped a local Z4 owner swap his OEM Sachs for B4s and honestly didn't really feel they were firm enough for me on sharp turns or rebounding from road bumps. So now I'm questioning my original decision. I take the Z4 out when I want to drive like a madman, so I'll take any suspension enhancement.

That leaves me with B6s or Koni Sports, both priced comparatively. I've installed B6s on many of my previous rides and know they will meet my requirements for firmer ride and better handling, but also don't want to snap my spine on every road bump. For anyone that owned Koni Sports (and maybe B6s), how did you like them and how do they compare to B6s?

Appreciate the input. Tariffs have me freaking out so I'd like to make the purchase this week for sure.
 
I can’t really help with experience but I’m in a similar boat.
My zed 2.5 SE is on original 2006 dampers and new (at some stage in the past) springs.
I really need dampers and springs to improve the ride and lower a touch.
I’m wanting Koni sports and suplex springs. As recommended by meds.
Trouble is trying to get stock at Autodoc or anywhere else for a good price.
This combo seems considerably more than a B12 pro kit, and Autodoc prices are yo yoing all the time.
Very frustrating. Currently out of stock.

B4 and sachs are massively cheaper. I’m starting to wonder if I should go with one of these or b12 kit.
Anything would likely be better than my original probably worn out dampers.
Anyone suggest a fair price or target price for koni sports and suplex springs, any stockists or deals?

OP maybe meds will be along to talk about koni or check out his thread.
