i'd go koni, ahmed springs were developed for koni shocks mate.

also konis are adjustable where as billys arn't.

A koni's leak on the rear of 2wd cossies .. Hence I run koni up front and Billy's on rear ...

There's a thread on here somewhere about them leaking so I'd stay clear IMO

The Koni's on the 4i don't leak and they are 10 years old now.

I have a brand new set of rear Konis, surplus to requirements. £120 delivered if of any use. I am well known on here so its not a scam. PM me if interested.
