bilstein struts...how do they feel?
I have decided to fork over the cash for bilstein struts and shocks due to the consistant agreement taht they are the best.
but i want a steady smooth drive
what do they actually make your car feel like and handle in your car?
anyone who has them please share your experience

Re: bilstein struts...how do they feel?
Better than any cheap garbage u have ever experienced on yoru car, no offenses
They make it ride smoother and handle and track nice.
I can compare them to good low mileage factory stuff, high mileage factory and a few sets of KYB;s
If u have the $$$, just do it, u will be happy
later

I have the stock Bilstiens on my 2003 S-10 with the ZQ8 Pkg. I have been impressed with the comfort yet sporty valving they exhibit. I wouldnt think twice about putting them on my TA.

Just put them on my 85 with a complete front end rebuild. Very firm and smooth ride. Much better than stock. Less lean in corners. Worth the money. Badman

Re: bilstein struts...how do they feel?
I have bilstien HD's on my Iroc, and truck - I like them. good shocks.But for real performance go Koni, I have koni's on my 2K SS and they are a higher level of performance than the Bilstiens.(I had Bilstiens on my SS before the koni's)
Konis are a little firmer, but Iroc's with springs don't ride that great anyhow- sometimes I wish I would have bought Koni yellows for my Iroc as well....
