Default Bilsteins Rock!!

Put a set of Bilstein Sports on my 70 Coupe today. Big difference in the ride, much better and the car seems to wander less.
Install a piece of cake too.

Just can't say enough about how I like the Bilsteins

On rough roads my Vette could be just evil now I can push it hard and have control.

Much nicer ride just cruising around too.

Well worth the money, Really when you think about it what other part of you suspension works harder all the time.

I'm glad to hear they make such a good improvement. I'm waiting on a new set of BFG's that I ordered many weeks ago, and then my next 2 upgrades are Bilsteen sports and a front end align.

My tulips finally bloomed yesterday and it almost immediately started to snow again. Supposed to be back in the mid-60's tomorrow with clear skies again.

Yeh, I finally gave up on the KYBs on there for 12 years the other week, and put on ***** Steins....car does handle better, rides smoother, corners nicer....good improvement.....still not sure of the price being 300 bux/set of 4 but.....well worth the increase if buying from scratch....
