Between the two who is the best?? I am not talking drag racing, but auto cross, wich strut will make my car performe the most like a F1 car?? Anyone who has experience or tangable knowlage, I would really like your opinion! So..Koni or Bilstein???

 

?

 

I'm a Bilstien guy myself. I hear good things about Koni, but I hear more good things about Bilstiens.

FWIW, the Stage 2 suspension SLP offers on the Firehawks includes all Bilstien products.

 

Adjustable Koni's only if you know what you are doing with the individual settings otherwise stick with bilsteins

 

good point, settings can be difficult to setup right..

 

I have koni yellows & the car handels awesome I would buy again

 

got to go with the bilsteins......after having the yellows and now bilsteins i'm much a happier. i absolutely love my bilsteins. the best 300 bucks in all of my suspension upgrade i spent.

I can't decide on which one's I want to install with an Eibach ProKit on an 83TA. Could you maybe explain a bit as to why you like the Bilsteins better after having the Koni Yellows.

 

Bilstein shock/struts rock. Good for street, not too harsh. I think the koni's woulda been too harsh for my ride.

 

koni's were extremely solid...........bilsteins are solid. but also smooth it's hard to explain. but on a hard street surface as well as a track and even the usuall 1/4 drag they work great on my car. i absolutely love them and would only consider removing them for coilovers just so i could have serious adjustment for racing.

for a street car they are the best and they work equally great when demanding so. can't say enough good about them!

 

OK - thanks for the info. Looks like I'll be going with Bilsteins.

 

email me when you get some prices; i'll try to help you out with where to pick them up from. can't really post things like that here.

 

i didn't know any of the sponsors sold bilstein.

 

Spohn sells Bilstein and Koni.
