Default Pro Kit and SLP level II Bilsteins ok?

I have the SLP level II kit. I don't like the way it sits. Would the Bilsteins that come with the kit be ok with the Pro kit?

I'd say yes... I'm running the bmr springs with no rear insolators & factory shocks... Been this way for the past 3yrs with no problems.. Stll rides decent as well.

In short, they won't. If I am not mistaken the real problem with the SLP Bilsteins are because of the way the shocks are revalved, not the rebound, but the compression. That's a great way to screw up a quailty shock with a quality stock valving. When several people I knew decided to switch from their level 2 springs to Pro-kits, they were suffering even worse problems (thorugh they swore it "felt" better, but track times really revealed the ugly truth).
