Default Anyone run the Bilstein BTS-7501 kit

Does anyone run the full Bilstein suspension kit (BTS-7501) includes the Bilstein HDs and spings? If so what are you thoughts on it. It sells at Auto Zone for $709 but I can get it cheaper on my comercial account.

PLEASE SEARCH!!!!! Both about HD's on lowering springs, and the particulars about the kit.

I dislike it greatly, and could sell them all day long if they were all that good. They aren't, many better options.

So basicly for the money I should spend the little extra and do the QA1 setup?

From bad to worse............

You know, I have not clue one what you are looking for from the setup. You haven't mentioned it. QA1's are lousy, lousy, CRAPPY dampers. Is this a car meant to drive and handle well? Is it meant to be good, but ride is the prime concern? Is it a car that gets drag raced a lot? If so, how much and what are you willing to trade off?

LSWon00...

You ought to call Sam Strano up. He's quite a bit better to deal with when it comes to your personal desires with the car and he's trying to help you with what you want, rather than have you to continue to make shots in the dark when it comes to upgrading suspension (a seriously terrible thing to do).

If you don't feel comfortable with calling any vendor immediately, then you ought to use the search function as the moderators are becoming increasingly tired of these topics being overly exhausted.
