So, I have a set the above mentioned Bilstein struts for my six conversion. While I would love to do a few track days once finished, this will not be a track car. Additionally, Michigan roads are pretty rough. I therefore don't want to venture far (or at all) from the factory spring rates.
Recently I watched a video where a guy was lamenting about the Bilstein struts he put on his lightened 911. He alleged that they were far too heavily damped. And, this was in California where the roads are rather smoother than frost/thaw ridden MI. What are all 'y'all's thoughts? |

How stiff an owner wants it is the question.
When I purchase dampers, I know what I'll buy. Koni adjustables. This gives you options and if you purchase new, a lifetime guarantee from Koni themselves... Make copies of your receipt. By the time they need rebuilding your original receipt might be un-readable! If I already had a good set of Billys I'd try them first. Changing them is gravy except for the alignment and if you start with a properly aligned car marking position usually works fine. |
