Reason: spring length
I have some 2.5 metric springs that are about 535 lbs that could go on front of these instead of the 750, but nothing lighter to match rear. Can include. Beehive shape, but they still are smaller than stock springs and fit fine on these.
Hes suggesting that the quality of these used OEM Bilstein’s with custom threaded sleeves and whatever springs is a better quality, better feeling/faster setup than anything in the $700-1800 range (including Megan, BC, Meister, Fortune, etc.)
A lot of people say this. I had Stock Bilsteins on Tein S-Tech springs and stock perches and they were super stiff and my dads Koni/H&R setup was way better. I am unimpressed by my $1600 Fortune Auto’s. For the price I expected more. The **** makes noticeable changes but meh. Anyways, wrong place for this discussion
