I'm looking for any feedback on the Bilstein set up. They have two offerings, the HD package and the SPORT package.

Anyone have experience with either of these?

I have an 08 convertible that does not see the track but I like a good spirited drive on the twisties.

Your input is appreciated.

Bilsteins are g0od shocks, the DRM Bilsteins are better yet and compliment z51 suspension well if you have it, otherwise the HD's would likey be fine for your needs.
I saw new DRM Bilsteins for sale i n the FS section today, may want to do a search and check em out.

Yes, I forgot to mention that I do have the Z51 package. Will check out the DRMs.
