Bilstien made really good racing shocks back in the C4 days. I had the m on my C4 racecar.
They were the only way to go.
They seem to know how to make a Corvette work. I would trust them.

We're using Bilstein for our C8 Coilovers. We valve them in house so I can set them up for anything from mostly street/occasional track day to dedicated race car.

@Dane@LGmotorsports What kind of spring rates are you running for a mostly streetcar/occasional track car? I'm thinking in terms of the base shock as well. Thanks!!

700/750 area is about as light as I've done. Could probably back it off a bit more but not much if it will be running at a lowered ride height.

Guess he is not interested in selling some. I talked to him and he was supposed to get back with me about parts, and never heard back from him.
