I have the better KYB gas shocks on my 81, I love em.  My wrench liked the Bilstein but didnt think they were worth the cost.

Vette(s): 1982,150K,Renegade CFI,Hooker Side Pipes,85 fuel pump,Bilsteins,HD suspension, Aluminum radiator, SharkBar/w 5-Point Restraints. 3:73 gears coming soon.
Bilstiens on my 82 for about 2 years and I luv them. I drive mine daily and the suspension is HD anyway, so a bit more stiffness is okay with me.
 I don't exactly drive it like a race car, but it is nice to know it is there when I want it or especially when I need it!
Bilstiens rule!
IMO of course.
