Anyone running Bilstiens?
I've been asking in the autoX forum but haven't recieved the info I'm looking for. I would like to know if it's worth it to upgrade to Bilstien HD's when I do my spring change? Also, will these shocks work well with Eibach sportlines? I'm not looking for race-car handling as I rarely race but I just want a nice tight ride, will the Bilstiens work for me?
FYI I'm also installing BMR lca's, relocation brackets, adj. panhard bar, and tubular subframe connectors.
Thanks

I run Bilsteins in the rear with stock springs and Koni SA's in front. The car handles extremely well imo. I would think that you would want re-valved Bilsteins with sportlines - as I understand it stock Bilsteins weren't made for that kind of spring rate. I would recommend contacting Sam Strano at www.stranoparts.com. He'll give you an honest opinion even if you don't buy anything from him. He does re-valve Bilsteins and seems to have fairly competitive pricing.

I got the Bilstein/Pro Kit combo too, I love it... You gotta watch out for bumps and everything because it can get a little rough, but other than that I love them. I can go over speed bumps straight, not ricer style as long as I go slow. But the handling it great just swing the wheel and your off, no skirting or nothing.

I'm running Bilstein's with Sportline's and i love them. I have heard poeple say to revalve them - but i don't race either so i didn't . The car handles amazing now - the car turns much flatter. I also had the car aligned mor aggressively - i highly recommend this. I am running a little more than -1 camber and + 4-5 caster - the front end is much more stable in the corners.
Good luck!!
