Bilstein's?
 
I was going to get the bilstein shocks for my car, but say there was a bilstein hd kind as well. What's the difference of the regular's and hd's? Thanks

Give Sam Strano a call at Strano Performance, a board sponsor. He is an expert on suspensions for F-bodies, and a fantastic autocrosser.

i have the bilstein hd shocks, and eibach springs. it feels great, very stiff, the new shocks made a HUGE difference. but im not fond of the stance of the eibach, i want to get a set of strano's but apparently i cant for like 6 weeks.

How would the bilstein shocks and struts feel, without putting new springs on?
Difference? Worth 400$$??

I noticed a huge differance from stock. The best mod I have done so far. I have SLP Bilsteins and a prokit. I would recommend going with Strano he knows his stuff. I just got a really good deal on my stuff is why I went with that.

The Bilsteins with stock springs make for a very nice ride, with improved handling and control. Highly recommended and definitely worth the price of admission.

Thanks again for getting back to me Sam. You helped with alot of questions I had. I'll be tallkin' to you soon.

Bilsteins are a decent budget alternative. Revalves are better, and Koni S/A are even better. I recommend saving up for the konis, you'll be glad you did on the long run. Much better if you race or are competative.
