Heater hose mod with bilsteins
Heater hose mod with bilsteins I'm putting on a set of Bilsteins this weekend, along with new stock height springs, this is a dd, but i do like the look of a more level car that people get with the heater hose in the back.
I've read that stock Bilsteins don't like it, but how much can a 1/2" drop hurt them? I'd like to do it, but defer to the much greater knowledge of this forum, do it, or don't?

My car had a slight opposite rake with stock springs/shocks where the front sat higher than the back. The mod alone would have made it worse so I put BMR springs on the front and installed Bilsteins all around to even it out. Still a rake but I'd rather have the front lower. Looked alright.

This is the same exact set up I'll have. In the pic it looks perfect. I would actually prefer the front to be a tad lower. How does it ride and handle if you don't mind me asking?

The ride was noticeably firmer than stock but not too harsh. I put on some better sway bars and the car handled like it was on rails. It was a great setup for the money. I have BMR springs all around now and it's not as smooth but I deal with it because racecar.
