bilstein shocks and strano performance 1.2 lowering sprink set? I was wondering if anyone with this setup could answer a coulpe of questions.
1. How is the ride while driving casual?
2. How is the performance when "driving hard"?
3. How does it handel at the track? (with supporting suspension mods)?

Are you talking about stock Bilsteins or Strano Bilsteins? I have Strano re-valved Bilsteins with Strano Springs and the ride quality is pretty good on the street when driving casually and driving hard. The handling is way better than stock. At the drag strip is another story. It is extremely difficult to launch. The suspension setup is just to stiff. I think this combination would be good on a road course but my car is driven mainly on the street and serves my purposes well. I am considering switching to Koni's but I think the improvement will only be marginal.

bilstein shocks are decent for street, front will not be stiff enough on little hills on the road it feels like wont hold. koni adj are incredible have only 8k on bilsteins im pulling them off, ride is good though
