So little info on the Bilsteins...awesome dampers. I had the HD's on my 92' prelude. one of the best handling cars I've ever owned.

ya man so far i love them! They are great and not too stiff Yesterday i went on a canyon run and the car handled flawlessly, my friend has a BMW 330i with full H&R suspension and he was extremely impressed with how well my car handled and that i could actually pull on him through the turns!

Not so little info on Bilstein's. Great shocks, but super pricey for non-adjustables that don't work any better IMHO than STR.T's do.

I sell Bilstein for those who just have to have them, but I do not feel they offer good value for the money. Again, very nice shocks.... but shocks with adjustment but at a price that is $200 or more over other very nice non-adjustables, and up around the price of adjustables (slightly more than D-specs, less than Koni Sports).

ya like i said i contemplated on the D-specs but went with the Bilsteins. I got them for $600 so i felt comfortable paying the price. The car handles much better now. I about crapped when i saw that Koni's are 25% off right now, they're around the same price as the Bilsteins I bought. Haahah a set of Konis for $630 is a bargain!!!

Me neither. I, too, have Steeda Sport springs, heavy duty strut mounts and Koni STR.T dampers on the way! Thanks, Sam.

$600 for Bilstein's is a pretty normal price, I'm around that everyday. STR.T's are currently $369/set, and I really like them. Koni Sports would be part of that sale if there were any, but there currently are not).

When/if the become available while this sale is on, there will be a discount on them as well (and I will eventually issues store credits for those who ordered before if they do end up coming in while the sale is pending.

I'm not sure if you'll need them. By no means am I an expert when it comes to suspension, though; I just followed the advice of Sam Strano. You may want to ask him, wilkinda.
