Default Bilstein compared to Pfadt shocks

Bilstein compared to Pfadt shocks. With the Pfadt being adjustable, and more money. Whats the comparison in ride, etc.
Also with the pfadt coilovers, do you have to get an alignment due to removing the leaf?

Thank you

Yes, and use Pfadt recommended camber spec's.

Thank you

The comparisons are going to be some what suspect, because of the dampening adjust ability of the pfadt shocks. The bilsteins are a good shock, the pfadts are just better with more user input and control. You can make the feel of the car better to your liking.

Also if you are interested in a price on the struts or coil overs PM me and I will make certain you get taken care of.

Good luck
