No, it was not an option. When I bought this setup on E-Bay-USA, I had not much experience and was just beginning reading here.
I was very disapointed by the cars suspension, especially at very high speeds. Because Bilstein is very well known and a respected company here in Europe, I decided to buy this combination of springs and shocks.
Until now, I only installed the shocks (not the springs, because I heard here, that the springs have to high rates for the bundled shocks).
The cars behaviour was VERY much improved with these shocks. Now I think it is near to the level of an european sedan (like a BMW or Audi). But it still doesn't feel like a sports car.

If you've got time on Wednesday, September 6, that's the next time I'll be on the N'ring again.
