Have access to a set of lightly used Bilstein front/rear inserts and shocks but wanted to ask about ride quality. Looking to balance handling with comfort for 250+ mile days.
Thanks! |

Bilstein will custom revolve your inserts. let them know what your looking for and the spring rates. I did not do the fronts on my car, ran the stock 88-89 Tb bars in it. The rears here done for stockfish springs, hand them revolved to handle the 175 springs I ran or was it 225, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Would need to look at my racing documentation from years gone by, I have forgotten the details.
If you are thinking about installing coil sleeves do it before you send them off for revolving. I used a set of Colmann sleeves. You heated the sleeve up, and then slid it over the shock. First one I did I did not make it all the way done, had to heat the sleeve on the shock, and boiled the fluid. But that was the plan, I did it just incase I boiled the fluid as I was having the revolved. Fronts I ran stock as my spring rate matched the front insert rate. Perfect shocks unless you have coin for JRZs. |
