I need new rear shocks for the race car and plan on getting coilover sleeves. Why would one choose bilsteins over konis or vice versa. Car currently has konis that are shot...
I've searched past threads and I've seen people use both. I'm just curious why people choose one over the other. |

Either shock can be valved to what you need.
I say "NEED" because what you want is not always what you need. Bilstien is a better product. all the shocks race or street have the same common parts. |

QUOTE(Joe Ricard @ Nov 9 2009, 09:24 AM)  Bilstien is a better product. all the shocks race or street have the same common parts. NOT, similar parts but with different design....like Boeing & Airbus.....but Boeings last for 50-60 years. Scarebus are lucky to last 15. |
