hey guys new to the site i was wondering what do you guys think about bilstein i found some for less then 300 a set and they're brand new. i have tein s. tech springs and right now i have 2 choices KYB GR2 or the blistein TC i don't know much about either. i noe KYB aren't all that great and i've heard good and bad about them. bilstein ppl have told me their pretty good but no first hand experience with them. need some shocks this weekend. any suggestions would be great >> thanks guys

i have the kyb and i like them, but i have heard nothing but good things about blistein. i was going to get the blistein, but i didnt want to shell out another 100 bucks for them.

ahh thanks guys >> i'm goin with bilstein mainly because gr2 are very close to being stock shocks. and i've heard they can't withstand the added pressure from lowerin springs. for an extra 80 ima go with the bilstein but thanks for the advice guys >>
