Default Installed Bilstein HD's and Pro-Kit!!

Just installed my shocks and springs tongiht and man what a night and day difference. I had 70,000 miles of my stock suspension and I didn't thing they were that bad until now. Anybody thinking about getting new suspension....all I can say I just do it, you be amazed. Just thought I would share.

Oh just so you know I got the Bilsteins for 318.10 shipped to my door and the pro-kit for 220 to my door.

Isn't it great? Right after I got my new setup installed, it was like having a new car - I was positively giddy to drive it, just to see how well the new stuff behaved over familiar sections of road.

Get a good alignment and then report back, that'll make as much of a difference in the handling as the shocks and springs did for the ride. I've been through a few suspensions (stock, LG G2 Super Springs & Bilstein HDs, HAL QA1 front shocks and springs with QA1 shocks and BMR springs in the rear, and now Eibach Pro Kit springs and Bilstein HDs again) and the Pro Kit/HD combo is the best ride I've had yet IMO. Its a firm and sporty ride but not too harsh or bouncy, and especially after an alignment it really hugs the road. I'm looking very forward to getting the Strano-revalved HDs in the future for that much more improvement.

Yeah, I have that combo too, it is like having a brand new car. I never though non-horsepower mods could be so fun.
