Basically happy with the ZCP ride height, so mainly looking to refresh the car up a bit. Looking to maintain stock comfort, if a bit of handling can be gained without extra NVH that's great, but not a priority.
1. Does anyone know if I need to swap out any parts going from EDC to non-EDC? Some Bilstein product mentions 'non-EDC upper mounting required fro EDC car'.
2. What do you guys think about OEM non-EDC, Bilstein B6, and Bilstein B8? Going to keep the stock springs and comfort is the top priority (heard good things about Bilstein's handling, not sure about comfort and maintenance/durability, but horror stories about shortage if you need replacement)
Also open to other suggestions within the same price and comfort range
3. Does anyone have a list of all the suspension/chassis bushings that should be replaced?
With all the corona virus craziness staying home and plan out car stuff is probably the best thing to do  |
I just finished converting mine a couple months ago with B8s and B&G sport springs.
The setup feels between the mid to stiffest EDC setting, but the B8 struts do a good job of soaking a lot of bumps, but are in the stiff side of things.
You need non-EDC rear top bushings and hardware:

Everything else will transfer over. I also replaced the front mount bushings and connecting links for good measure (Prior to this I did a full front and rear control arm refresh).
Overall I'm happy with the setup, cost me just over $1k for all the parts.
