Alright I'll keep that in mind. I wouldn't mind saving the money (and I think my dad will agree).

Get the Koni's from Acute - Pelican parts has the OEM struts, but they're $234 ea. for fronts and $134 ea for rears - which equals about exactly what the Koni's will run and the Koni's are better.

There is a nice writeup on the konis on Tire Rack if you want more information. I just wish I can find a similar one for the KWs...anybody seen one?

That's exactly what I've been trying to find out...if the KW's function like the Koni FSD's. That damping mechanism just makes sense...simple physics.
