Bilstein Shock absorbers

Since the original Sachs were not available where I live, I went ahead with Bilstein stock replacements. One problem that i am facing is that no matter what I do, I am not able to get the front camber to factory spec.

Cons: camber not to factory spec

I ended up doing neuspeed sport springs and bilsteins. I still need to do sway bars especially rear because it has the stock push to it. It handles great and comfortable.

Pros: handles great, comfortable

I've had the chance to daily Billstein shocks w/Eibach springs...with stock shocks w/HR drop springs...The Bill and KW setups had/have Meyle HD front bushings and R32 control arm bushings.

Pros: sportier road-holding feel
Cons: car crashed on bumps
Vehicle: Volkswagen Corrado

Get a Tacoma, then throw some Bilsteins on it (if it doesn't already have them) and a set of Michelins tires. Will ride nice.

Pros: Will ride nice
Vehicle: Toyota

Instead of replacing it with factor components, I decided to remove the setup in its entirety and replace it with Bilstein Sport Shocks and B&G Sport Springs. The springs are progressive which keeps a very factory-like smoothness to the ride but allows for tighter handling.

Pros: tighter handling, factory-like smoothness
Mileage: 109000 km

In my experience, Bilsteins are too stiff for the NB, they kept my car up and got like 1in drop with H&R springs.

Cons: too stiff, kept car up
Vehicle: Volkswagen New Beetle
