Will Bilstein HD's be good enough for my Eibach Pro Kit springs?
I don't race the car, so what I'm looking for is a decent ride and I don't want the car bottoming out.
I'm happy enough with the stock ride as far as bumps and things like that, so would this setup (pro kit w/ bilstein hd's) be similar--better or worse?
I know that Koni's or revalved Bilsteins from Strano would be the 1st choice, but will the HD's do the trick? I'm looking to keep the price reasonable.
Or how about two front revalved bilsteins and 2 regular rear HD bilsteins?
I just don't want a jarring, bouncy ride and definately no bottoming out especially with my long tubes. The roads are a little bumpy around here.

The Eibach Pro kit will lower your ride height about 3/4" and give your a decent ride. Sam Strano recommended that I use re-valved 4th Gen Bilsteins on the front and 3rd Gen HD Bilsteins on the rear. I'm happy with that combo.

Do not Skimp on damping. Shocks are huge. I would ditch the springs and get a better set of shocks. But if your using springs you need revalves or Koni SA thats really the only 2 chocies in my mind.

YEah. It's defenetly not under an inch drop. Mine feels and looks more like over an inch. 1.3" sounds about right. My bilstiens are great. I've got the revalved ones. I got them thru Speedinc, the box was SLP when I got it. I looked them up and SLP rated them as being revalved.

revalves or Koni SA, I'm on koni's so im kind of partial. Talk to Sam Strano
