Bilstien BTS-7511 susp kit opinions

[jrez]

Hey all,


Wndering if anyone has had first hand experience with the above kit from Bilstien.

It's a complete kit, including springs. Curious to know how harsh and how low the kit is.

I called them a couple months ago trying to find out the rates, i believe the front its 150-190 and the rear was 350-430. then just a standard valving on the sport shocks. i have heard from a few people that like them, not to harsh for daily driving, but hard enough to feel a nice difference. The drop is 1 inch in the front and 3/4 in the rear? Have you gotten a price on the kit? if so how much?

Im actually responding to a question posed to me by a friend/customer. He's ridden in my car(H&R Sport/OEM sport dampners) and likes the ride/handling.
He also has a 2002 with Eibach Sportline/Bilstien suspension. He is also is impressed with the Bilstien dampners.

So I mentioned that Bilstien make a complete kit, and that I could get it to him for $980 Cdn, +taxes/shipping, from one of my suppliers.
He's interested, but wants to know if the ride with the BTS kit would be worse than the H&R Sports.

H&R won't give me their rates, so I'm kinda left guessing, and asking for opinions.

If anyone knows the H&R Sport rates, please let me know.


Cheers'
