Re: Bilstein Group Purchase? (Van Steel)
Bilsteins are by far the best shock to have. Internally the have these digressive valves in them that self-adjust to road conditions. You won't bounce all around. If you are looking for a great ride than Bilstein's will be what you want. It's kind of like comparing a vette to a mustang. It's whats inside that is much better. I believe they are well worth it. Ask other forum members about them and they will tell you they love them.

Re: Bilstein Group Purchase? (Van Steel)
What kind of spring rates are the Bilsteins designed for? My springs are a lot stiffer than stock.
I also get pretty severe on-off throttle oversteer. I suppose that means the rear shocks should be stiffer (among other things). I have KYB gas-adjusts now (junk IMO). Will Bilsteins help this?

Re: Bilstein Group Purchase? (Van Steel)
Thanks Dan, I now have a complete VanSteel Performance Suspension Package with the exception of the dual rear spring and I am going to use the 6 link there so I can't have both.
Do we get any stickers to put on the window? :thumbs: Thanks JIM

Re: Bilstein Group Purchase? (Van Steel)
Van Steel, can you make up a package that includes the Bilsteins & the front stabalizer links (poly) & the rear leaf links (poly). If I'm going to change out the shocks, I might as well replace the links with poly...
