Andreu Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Last Saturday my friend and i installed the bilsteins and rallitek springs at his porsche /saab shop. All i can say is that im glad i had the chance to do it there. Those rear bolts were a PITA. Two 2foot breaker bars to loosen those things up. The fronts were 20min to do both (swapping out the stock with the bilsteins). I was in a hurry to get to work so i didnt get any of those infamous detailed LGT style pictures, but i would just like to post what i got to show all of you.

Andreu Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 As far as the ride is concerned, It rides like better then new. As "Sirsimon" said in his post. It does not have a real aggressive ride but more controlled like a BMW or Audi(S4). I think this would be one of the better Normal guy lowering springs. For some reason my car on stock setup was a little lower the new(probably bad struts) but my car didnt lower too much, and i dont mind. it still feels sharper and more percky. i will post ride height pics after i get it aligned wenesday. I cant wait the full week because im tacking a trip friday and dont want to go withought an alignment. Let me know what you guys think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daedalus Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Wow, the RalliTEK front springs look to be like 3" shorter than the ones they are replacing! Is this because they are compressed less when put on the strut? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeFromPA Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I love that color combo....the stance looks great; of course, it's not settled. Nevertheless, it looks like about $1000 for the springs, dampers, and associated parts (i.e. new strut mounts, dust caps, etc....I just priced the whole kit from fred beans) and then maybe $400 for installation/alignment at a reputable shop. Very nice Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
