Default Which Bilstein Shock

Eshocks.com lists 2 Bilsteins for the C5 a Heavy Duty, and a Sport. Are the sports stiffer than the HD's? The price is the same which surprizes me. Anybody out there using KYB's?

Tsab,

We carry both the Bilstein sports and the heavy duty versions. Almost 99.99999999% of C5 owners that have purchased their Bilstein shocks from us, chose to go with the sports. The heavy duty shocks are softer and are meant for the C5's base suspension even though you can use the sports on the C5's base suspension. The sports are meant for the C5's Z51 suspension.

Hope this information helps.

The Bilstein sport shocks are awesome and they are currently backordered for another 2-3 weeks according to Bilstein.

If you have any other questions, email us at: Sales@TheLAPD.com

Thanks!

Shawn
