Default need some very average shock/spring advice

non-revalved bilstein hd's with dms springs. no drag racing, no autox, no road racing - just wanting a clean look, and an improvement over stock handling.

can anyone tell me if this is what i will receive with this combo? if not, please tell me the springs that would match the bilstein hd's (not revalved) accordingly.

i don't want to do many other handling upgrades. LCA's and adj. panhard will be about it in the future...

Re-valving of shocks to match springs is a good thing to do if you are searching for that last tenth of a second on a road course.

People for YEARS have been mating Bilstein HDs and aftermarket springs and not having any issue on the street. I've run my B/HDs with Prokits and G2 Supers for 50K miles, much of it on road courses, and have yet to ruin a shock.

Revalving is a recent mass marketing ploy.

My thoughts
