Quick BB Poll... (Struts) 200 1989

posted by  someone claiming to be CB on  Fri Feb 8 14:33 CST 2013 [RELATED]

FWIW

in one of these posts you mentioned that you were in NYC. My experience with Bilstien HDs were in another vehicle...a BMW 2002. In Maryland...they were very very stiff.

In NYC, having taken that very same Beemer up there and into the city...In that short wheelbase car it was torture.

I would look for a softer shock....Bilstien Touring ....which I just recently put in an 87 wagon.....

There was a strange problem with the rear shocks...that resulted in THUNKS. Seem some others on this board have had that problem...


My Rec Bils Touring front....KYB GAS ADJUST....not the Gxx cheaper ones...in the rear.

The best set up I had was KYB GAS ADJUST all around...but the front inserts are no longer available
