Bilstein Ultra Susp. Question My car is equipped with the Bilstein Ultra Suspension Package. I am considering some rear suspension upgrades. I would like to know if the "upgraded" Panhard Bar and Lower Control Arms are worth keeping? My car could best be considered "high-performance street"...meaning I don't drag or auto cross. I would like to create a nice balance between straight line traction and handling. Any advice and/or thoughts would be appreciated...Thanks

Re: Bilstein Ultra Susp. Question The factory upgraded LCA's and PHB are marginally better than stock. If you are after better handling performance (you want the car to be more "crisp"), I'd replace them. What are you trying to do with the car? Are you looking for a daily driver? Do you want to wage an all out assault on exit ramps and cloverleafs everywhere? Have you been considering autocrossing? More info would help us help you.

Re: Bilstein Ultra Susp. Question I will opt for the "wage an all out assault on exit ramps and cloverleafs everywhere" idea! I have never really thought about auto-x, just want to have a "daily-driver" on steroids!

Re: Bilstein Ultra Susp. Question How do these stack up against the more popular lines (BMR, G2, etc.)? The consensus seems to be that the G2's with the rod ends are the best ones going for the LCA's. Also, should I get an adjustable PHB? The car is lowered with the Ultra suspension package. Did SLP shorten the PHB in conjuntion with the Bilstein package?
