Re: Bilstein HD confusion continues...

Bottom line, the HD's are just not suitable for lowering springs, and now given the changes to the rears, are even LESS suitable IMHO. BTW, the stock DeCarbon's are very high in compression and low in rebound, and if you have paid any attention to, or replaced them with something better you know that the jumpy, jittery nature of the car on small bumps, as well as the squish reactions and resistance to taking a set are hallmarks of shocks like that. I have no idea what they are thinking doing this, but I personally think they are insane.

They've turned the rear HD's into defacto DeCarbon's, which is a horrible thing to do. I think my Revalving and Koni sales are about to rise.
