Bilstein HDs were designed to be optimum with stock springs...if that's what you are running, you should be very pleased.

I have Bilstiens and didn't feel the difference that I was looking for. They are better than stock though.

I just installed a pair for the rear and they seem to have gotten rid of my wheel hop.

I never had a problem with wheel hop or anything in the first place. The only difference I could feel is that it recovers quicker, and I feel alot better taking a hard turn at 40 mph.

Don't know....just looking into shocks and saw many people talking about the "HD" when Bilsteins were brought up....I figured it would add scope to your thread <and answer some of my questions as well>.
