New Bilstein struts and shocks on my 855R wagon. 850 1995

posted by  someone claiming to be gordon_w on  Sun Jul 13 18:46 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I'm guessing that the installation was done correctly. I have the Bilsteins on front and rear. I didn't do any measurements before the switch from stock but the whole car did appear about an inch higher. There have been many posts that report the same observation. It seems that the hi pressure in the Bilsteins contribute to the increase in ride height. I would suggest that you have the rears replaced with Bilsteins as well. Good luck.
