  • KYB vs. Bilstien

    well i did a search and i didn't see anything bad about either one of them, i was wondering what your opinions were

    for background i have a 99 maro and i was planning on running the prokit for my springs ( i have the factory apperance pack so i dint want to lower it to much) i want a firm ride but nothing that is unbearable for everyday driving

    thx for any help
    K&N air filter, Whisper air lid, magnaflow LT1 cat back, and magnaflow high flow cat, pacesetter headers, silverstars<br /><br />more to come soon<br />but for now im out of money

    regular bilstiens are not made for lowered cars they are designed to work best with stock springs, you could get them revalved from sam strano though. They are a much better shock overall then the kyb but the kyb are cheaper and would be better then stock. I am not sure how they would like lowering spring either.

      i have bilstein's and stock springs. since i have factory ground effect i can't lower my car since it's already bottoming out on speed bumbs and what now. but these shock ans struts are great. makes the ride stiffer, and sticks to the ground better. works great with my drag strip set up

        I have the KYB AGX and I like being able to adjust the dampening. The handling didn't feel quite right when I put them on, but I had them set to 5F/4R. Changed to 3F/5R and later 3F/6R which made quite a difference. Had I been stuck with the original settings I would not have liked how it drove. Plus I can make quick, on-car adjustments when I go to the strip.
