Reviews of Bilstein parts For Business

I run bilstein HDs (part of a Shine suspension setup). They're not adjustable, but I wouldn't know what to adjust.

30+ year old Bilsteins...still damp the rebound nicely too.

Yep, the 4 speed selector lever is shorter than the 5-speed part:

The 9s are single adjustable. They adjust rebound AND compression in the same direction, at the same time. The PSS kit is about a 2-3 on the scale of 1-9 according to both Bilstein and my own personal testing. The 9s can deffinetely be softened up considerably and ride quite well on the softer settings.

Got the HD's installed today and took the EV around town to see how it drove. Like Max and eric above, it definitely makes a nice difference. It just felt balanced and taught.

I too decided on the Bilstein HD shocks front and rear. They are definitely better than the worn out stock shocks. The MV is flatter now in the corners, and dips in the road are not followed by the "dolphin dance".

I replaced the limp stock shocks on my 2002 Weekender recently. I used Bilstein B46-1911/12 (the "HD" ones). The ride manages to be both smoother and more controlled.

IMHO, Bilstein struts are better than OEM Sachs and Boge struts. The units have a lifetime warranty, and are a great replacement!

If you can get Bilsteins for less than OEM struts..grab that quick! Bilsteins are true lifetime parts..I\"ve run sets well over 125K miles and they were just as firm as the day I installed 'em!

At about 75000 miles, I replaced my rear struts with Bilstein HD struts. Let me tell you, 90% of my handling woes were the rear struts being dead. I haven't replaced the fronts yet.
