Bilstein Shocks?
I'm just wondering about opionions of these shocks? I heard from a friend that they are pretty impressive both the sport and the HD shocks. I also know they are used on the Firebird Firehawks and Camaro SS's. Any input is appreciated!

I have the Sports and love them! They seem to work real nice with my setup. I have also used the Koni's and they are nice also, but mine rusted pretty bad. And I live here in middle Tenn. It has never seen snow.

I bought a set of 4 abt 15 years ago. (200,000 miles on them), and they're finally starting to go out.
Don't remember what model they were, but they do last.
If your currently running factory struts/shocks, you'll notice a HUGE difference!

I replaced my Front KYB's with the Bilstein struts, major improvement. If you like a stiff ride these are the way to go. Absolutly no complaints with mine, now I just need to replace my rear KYB's with Bilsteins. By the way the only difference in style is for the rear shock when purchasing a pair of Bilstein's. The sport is for a car with stock ride height and the HD are designed for a car that has been lowered. That's the main reason why I haven't replaced mine yet, because I plan on installing a set of lowering springs. The front struts are the same for either.
