We have pricing on our site as well as the Sponsor's section, but I'll get you a PM over shortly.

We're installing the Bilsteins today and get an overview of the install later.

Thx Kevin !
Its just looking like the HD version for now, they might have plans for sports later down the road but haven't released any info.

Right now they just have them made for the non ZCP struts. Makes a good reason to get lowering springs

Tom,

The sport mode in non zcp struts were linear and not dynamic (normal and comfort were variable damped). One of the advantages of zcp struts were that all three modes were dynamic.

Are these struts dynamic across the board? If so, in sport mode they would be more beneficial than the non zcp struts.

Cheers,

Lutfy

I believe, even if the struts were dynamic in the 3 modes, the car must be coded as well. It may sound strange, but I like the non-active sports mode, for the predictability.

Bilstein will have more information on the internals, it's best to speak with a tech directly. As far as I know though, they are going to be based off non ZCP.

Does that solution work for ZCP though? I thought I read a few posts up that these are only for NON ZCP models? Or am I confused?

You tell me? Like I mentioned, I thought someone above posted that these shocks didn't work for ZCP because the spring perch was higher. I have no clue if that's a problem or not if you remove the whole shock. That's what I was asking.

You cant use a sleeve kit with these shocks. The Dinan kit would be more comparable to to just lowering springs + goodies. The shell on these struts is unibody so it wont allow an after market strut clamp where the spring sits.

It shows that they do have shocks for ZCP.

So are you saying the dinan kit will not be compatible with bilstein shocks?

You cannot use their adjustable "race" suspension. However, you can use the stage 1 to 3.

I dont see a EDC compatible setup yet for the ZCP struts. The ZCP are going to have a lower strut collar. The non ZCP struts will make your car sit higher. Hopefully Bilstein will come out with a ZCP specific setup.

So far I havent seen a separate ZCP strut yet. I checked and it looks like they just have the original set unless I'm wrong.

The sports are a more performance oriented strut. Made more for lowered vehicles. The HD's are a step up from an OEM replacement with improved valving and stiffer dampening.

Should have a review shortly for you.

Kevin,

Can these HD Bilstein EDC units be used with lowering springs on a non ZCP vehicle? I'm considering H&R sports to go along with the replacements next month. I know they advertise "ideal for lowering springs", but you reminded me Bilstein makes the sport (non edc) with lowering springs specifically in mind. Thanks for any info.
