I need to replace the stock shocks and I was looking at getting Bilsteins shocks all around. I wish I had the money to get QA1s or something. I cant put lowering springs on cuz I already have clearance issues parking in my driveway. So I was wondering should I just go with the Bilsteins sense I cant lower my car or is there a better set up that wont change the ride height? any help would be great thanks.

If you're not looking to lower and are trying to save some money, Bilstiens are a good option. QA1's aren't really designed for excellent street manners, do a search on them.

Ive seen the Bilstein HD shocks and the SLP Bilstein shocks online, do you know if there is any difference between the two.

their is a differrence between the HD (Heavy Duty) & SLP, but from what i have read on the forum i get mixed answers/opinions on whats best but i believe the slp is the better suited shock

according to Sam Strano, there is no difference. but OP Summit Racing sells the SLP Bilsteins for around 300 bucks

The HDs are Lifetime Warranty, SLP is 90 days.

I have been very happy with my Bilstein HDs. They may not be QA1s but are a definite upgrade from factory.

What really happened is that they switched the valving on the HD's so they became identical to the SLP valving.
