Thanks so far. One of the threads said that bilsteins were too much and recommended yellow konis set at the softest. More comments would be appreciated.
Bilstein makes at least 4 different valvings of dampers for most cars, from 'HD' (OEM replacement level) through racing. when Bilstein sells you a Sport, Rallye/Sport, or Rallye (Race) damper, it's not just a street damper with a racing stripe, it's a RACE SHOCK.
lots of people -think- they want race dampers on their car and are disappointed (?) at the harsh ride. Bilstein will sell you whatever level of valving you want, but they'll deliver what you ask for. OEM would be fine for a street car, even an assertively driven street car. if you like the 'sporty feel' and AX occasionally on a mostly stock suspension with street tires, Sport is a good upgrade.
don't go stiffer than Sport unless you know what you are doing and have uprated spring rates to go along with it (or your car will be overdamped, unresponsive, and feel 'numb.')
