Bilstein info please! I have ground effects and the roads out here are bad, so keeping stock springs/height. With my mods, the shocks are slowly going from crappy to unbearable. The cars so tight that it starts to {shudder} on chopy roads
*Getting Bilsteins! but which one SLP or HD? Please help me choose which is right for me.
Iv'e read the differences, but I still don't understand

I vote for the HDs. I think the SLPs have less compression and more rebound when compared to the HDs. Might even want to look up Sam Strano and get a set of revaleved Bilstiens from him.

hmmm...so SLP has less compression and more rebound?
That means less chance of bottoming out and more front end weight transfer when racing...right???
Thanks for the replys. Need Lamen terms please

I'm going from memory here so please do some more investigation but here goes my understanding of the SLP Bilsteins.
As I said, I'm pretty sure they have less compression and more rebound than the HDs. I think they wanted them revalved this way so that the ride would not be so harsh when hitting sharp bumps {think highway expansion joints}. They added the extra rebound to "sorta" make up for the compression they took out.
When comparing the two,,,the HDs will be a bit harsher, have less brake dive and should have less body movement during side to side transitions.
The SLPs should have less front end rise during acceleration. That should be close if I'm remembering things right, please check it out for sure though.
