Just took her through some twisty mountain roads, roads with potholes, washouts, ripples, and poorly filled cracks. Very nice, can't feel any difference besides no more scary loss of control over bumps, that right side strut wasn't happy. Nice ride on the highway, otherwise not much different from the konis. No clue how the konis were adjusted. Probably pretty soft.
Here is the tag on the old konis  Everything went together fine, that big hold down thing didn't screw all the way into the strut but neither did the konis. |

At least on Bilsteins’ there is supposed to be a 2-3mm gap under the gland nut. This insures you are tightening the nut against the insert before it bottoms out on the strut body.

Ahh, well, I guess this is more like 5mm. It was nearly the same on the Koni. Maybe that is the point then.
