Underdog Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 You are kidding yourself if you don't think anyone sees through the thin veil of smugness you have put on display. Your character attacks on me are almost as trivial as your argument for the non-existence of a "shock dyno". The Crimson Dynamo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motorbykemike Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 to get back on topic , i like the way the bils are inverted & have du bushings w/ a big ol fat tube up top adding to rigidity , once they are valved to spring rates that really work in these cars , a killer combo p.s. i'm no engineer but i'm no dumbass either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For reference, I actually sold my OEM bilsteins to a member who had planned on rebuilding them. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are Tein H-tech rears. Its looks much different when parked lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fernely Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I picked up a set of JDM rev B a couple of years ago. The fronts needed rebuilding as they clunked. Sent them to Bilstien they were re-valved to a higher damping rate and a few bits I cannot remember anymore were replaced cost was 85 per strut. Combined with the JDM Spec B springs I have on there now the ride is incredible compared to stock on my 08 Spec B. As a side note my dealings with Bilstien US were great the tunaround time was very reasonable I think it was a week total from shipping to getting the struts back. I can only speak on my personal experience with them but they did a great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDN 2.5i Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 For anyone running lowering springs and considering taking their Bilsteins apart (to send back for rebuilds/revalving), think about getting some of the RCE shortened bumpstops to gain a bit more travel...
