Shocks

[jim kanomata1]

I can tell you that Bilstines are not living up to their publicity.
KYB has performed better . I have over 90 Bilstine s that has been kicked
back and will not warrenty them.
We just replace them with KYB.

I put new Bilsteins on the back at the last Bean Station. Because I had them. If I were going out to buy I'd use KYB.

The KYB's don't tend to self destruct when lifting the rear when under air bag pressure. Do the same with the Bilstein's and you'll probably destroy
the seal and dump the oil. Always preferred the Bilstein's handling on a car but the self destructing and refusal to warranty their products pushed me
into the KYB's which well.

Another problem with the Bilsteins is the upper eye where the shock
attaches. It is a weak point and frequently breaks there. And, their
warranty sucks.
