Not related to any further assistance as Klaus has really helped already...but what is your opinion on the Bilsteins?

Regards
Steve

This is as regards the Bilstein Heavy Duty model ; the yellow and blue ones. I like them but they are a bit of a surprise at first. They transmit the force of a large pebble or crack in the road but they are incredibly stable at highway speeds. They were unfazed by the time when I had six passengers in the car. I go right over those speed bumps at mall parking lots at 15 MPH and there is a bump... bump sound but the car barely goes up or down. I laugh as I watch SUV owners come to a complete stop at those bumps and ease their "Sport Utility Vehicle" over them. There is some reduction in sway though not miraculously so and I have the Bilstein rear shocks as well. I'd get them again. They control any incident in the road to a very high degree but they don't afford the puff cloud ride that my grandmother loves in her Buick. A stiff , stern shock absorber that is supposedly activated by as little as 2 mm movement.
