It's all good man. I don't make commission on our sales. I'm really just here to help. In the end, if you're happy with your setup, I'm happy. But if you need any help, I'm here.

i have heard good things about j&m from several different people. not heard much about many people i know running upr so i thought i would try j&m. now just figure out how to adjust them when i get them on the car i would be set lol

Luke,
You will NOT regret getting the Bilstein units!!!
As Cliffy points out, you are now at the mercy of the spring rates and shorter travel that you have selected. Firmer dampers will help to keep you off the bump stops, if you are suffering from that condition and you will notice better handling with the Bilsteins.

Everyone has a different idea of what is a good balance between ride comfort and handling. Personally, I have no gripes about my H&R race springs and Bilstein dampers, BUT some would find this set-up way too harsh. Note that I live in the south where our roads are torn all to hell by winter freezing and thawing.
