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.

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.
