Default Man do I have a stiffy!

4 stiffies to be sure...these new Bilstein shocks are supposed to be the base shocks.....but they're stiff as hell...I'm having to really "push in" to get the piston to move down.

I guess my vette will ride a little tighter once I'm finished :yesnod:

Qa1s are the ticket. 1 minute to go from Drag Strip setting to highway perfect. :cheers:

I put mine on 6 of 12 for the street and its UNGODLY stiff. 12 would be rediculous. :shocked:

My QA1's are on 10 all around when I autocross.

If I forget to turn them down, I'm quickly reminded by the 1st pothole! :lol: :crazy:
