I have Bilsteins. Konis are good also.

kyle2blue · 02-28-2006, 07:38 PM

okay, i was leaning toward bilsteins anyways

what kind of bilsteins though? heavy duty, sport, or touring

The Tourings are the softest. I've been told the Sports are Heavy duty's with a shorter shaft. They are reccomended for lowering springs. The Heavy duty's are a little stiffer than stock, but not bad for everyday. Springs seem to do more for stiffnes than shocks.

If you can fork out a little more paper go Koni adjustable you wont regret it, if you go with bilstein go for the sport as tomctx said they are a shorter stroke shock and work alot more effeciently than the heavy dutys and the touring are just shit.
