Re: best shocks to go with BMR coil over kit + tubular A arms

i assume the BMR coil-overs are the same idea as Spohns?

the best over the counter? koni yellow for performance, bilstein for ride comfort. $$$$

Nope, Best over the counter are these badboys. Full aluminum and double adjustable. Chassisworks Varistrut.


How come every time I want to attach a file it comes up invalid? this site never used to have this problem.

Here's the link. You'll have to chase downt he Varistrut on there site because I can not directly link the product page showing it.

im fully aware of this setup, though its not what he asked for.

he asked for the "best strut" for BMR's coil-overs, not the best coil-over setup available for the car, unless you can buy just the struts from varishock?

bilsteins have a much heavier body and the threaded sleeve will not fit over it.

And whats wrong with calling the company and just buying the struts?
I was aware of his question also, and even thought YOU are fully aware of this product, he was not and you did not suggest it. It is a far better alternative to go with buy just getting the lower thread adjuster and using an actual designed "coilover threaded strut" than using one of those crappy slip over theaded sleeve adjsters onto a comventional strut.
