South Florida---I want a test drive!!!
Hey guys, got a set of Bilsteins on the shelf and before I go matching them up with some GC's I wanted to see if these were as harsh as what people make them out to be...So if anyone is willing to, I'd like to test yours out...could be a simple ride along, just something to get a gauge for what level "harsh" they are...
Anyone in South FL running Bilstein's? Preferably with stiffer springs, but stock would be fine as well..
TIA

It's not nearly as bad as you'd think. The car has zero roll (Eibach sways too) and now that the FCM tops and stops are in I rarely ever hit the bumpstops. Other people think it's too harsh, but they drive SUVs and minivans and Cadillacs so of course they think it's harsh..

I dunno why it'd need to be private, but I'll tell you anyway.

Would love to hear more, or mayyyybe someone jumps in for the testdrive...
If I end up just going for it, and they turn out fine, I'm gonna start another thread ranting bout everyone's a *****..
If it goes the other way, I'll start a for sale thread bout how I'm an idiot..

Koto, I just thought of a BIG thing you can help me with....
Can you tell me how far past the retaining clip (forget what correct name is) the GC sleeves go?
This would be a big...might have another question or two depending on the answer
