Bilstein Heavy Duty Shocks, No Edc,anyone Tried Them?
i searched,didn't see anything.here is a link to what i'm talking about-
http://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-21...08-wo-edc.aspx the hd's are the shocks that work with stock springs,which i want to keep.the sport shocks work with lowering springs. my car is street-driven,sometimes aggressively,37k miles,stock suspension with oem 19's and michelin pss.i'm looking for a bit better handling and control,close to oem ride quality.usually at 50k or so,stock shocks start to show signs of wear.i'm thinking of upgrading before too long to get the benefit. the bmw tech who works on my car said the oem shocks are pretty close to these. |

I know you're looking for feedback/info on the Bilstein HD dampers but I have no experience with them on the e9x M3 (did have a set on an e30 a long time ago)...however, have you considered the TCK/Koni SA dampers? There are a few advantages of the TCK SA damper over the Bilstein HD: (1) rebound adjustable from the top so you can control ride quality with a quick turn of the knob (increase damping for "aggressive" driving; decrease damping for a great DD street ride), (2) custom TCK damping and bumpstops on the Koni "yellows", (3) able to run at stock ride height or even a mild/large drop, depending on what you want, and finally (4) these dampers have been around for quite awhile so they are pretty much "bulletproof" - install and forget about them!
Sorry for no input on, or help with, the Bistein HDs... |
