Never had the Konis although I wouldn't mind trying them. But what an investment just to experiment. I can't think of a reason to spend the extra money unless you really need a softer ride at times. I'm not for sure but I think maybe you still have to remove the rear shocks to adjust them. The fronts have that nifty little adjuster as you no doubt already know.
I do have the TMEs and Bilstein HDs on my car. As far as I'm concerned they (along with a couple of other common suspension upgrades) are just what the 240 needs. My car is more stable at highway speeds, especially in crosswinds and headwinds. I used to slow down for curves. Now I can accelerate through them. Every 240 I buy that's worth saving is going to get the same treatment.
I have not had the problem that some people have reported with the rear Bilsteins. But that's what the warranty is for. I can't come up with any con's on the Bils other than some people don't like the ride. Sensitive tailbones, I guess.
