Default Questions about Bilsteins and WS6 springs?

I need new shocks all the way around and want advise from someone that went from WS6 shocks to bilstien HD's. What's the ride like? harder,noisy, softer compared to stocks. I want to keep the stock height and springs. My car is a 98WS6 T/A.

well mine is a 98WS6 and i believe the decarbons changed the following year. I personally like the WS6 shocks, but i don't think they put the upgraded shocks for 99 and up. I don't want anything too much stiffer than the 98 WS6's. thanks

I have a WS6 with the level 1 suspension and I really like how it rides. It is a bit stiffer than stock, but is well worth it.

I already did the same thing you are considering. I have a 1998 WS6 with stock springs and recently installed Bilstein HD's. I love the way it rides now. I wanted it stiffer and not so... "squishy" is the only word I can think of to describe the old ride. The NEW ride is much better. It handles great. I also added a suspension techniques 35mm bar and the car rides SO MUCH BETTER.

cliff notes--get the Bilstein HD's, you'll love 'em.
