Default Question about Bilstein shocks.

Thinking about taking advanage of the Bilstein shock on e-bay. Just wondering if I want the sports or the HD. What does everyone else use? Only see the HD's on the e-bay site but I don't have to buy them if the sports are what I need.

I went with the HD's myself, I'm not gonna lower mine and dont want too harsh of a ride .The sports are suppose to be 20% firmer .I've had the HD's before and liked them on my other cars .

Maybe you should get some 2004 Z06 shocks if you are going to pass on the ebay ones. A lot of folks will tell you that the '04 Z06 shocks kick the Bilstein Sports in the ***

You might want to see if Fred Beans might still be honoring his November special.

I have the HD's on my '82, too soft. I would not put them on my C5, I would go with the Z06 shocks.
