Sorry for the delayed response - been travelling too much. Hope this doesn't come too late.

The Bilsteins only feel harsher over significant road irregularities. If you have smooth roads where you drive, you'll hardly be able to tell the difference except in the turns or other transients, where the more sophisticated Bilsteins will control better. My wife, who is moderately attuned to automotive stuff, could not tell the difference. A change in tires was more noticeable to her (went from PO's el cheapo Mastercraft to Bridgestone Potenza RE950 in 205/60-15).

Overall, if the car is not driven with 'spirit', you can't go wrong with the OEM Boges.
