Bilstein HD or sport?

ZemogFC3S · 11-25-2012, 03:28 PM

I have a set of eibach pro-kit lowering springs, do I use the HD or sport shocks/struts with lowering srpings? Anyone know what the difference is?

I would say Sport. They are under warranty due to lowering springs.

With any lowering spring set, it is best to use the Bilstein Sport Shocks (if you decide to use Bilstein). The Bilstein HDs are the same length as the stock shocks and are too long to be used with lowering springs (though there are some here that will say otherwise). The Sports are made for lowering springs, just check the write ups on the HDs and Sports on anyone's page or catalog that sells them (i.e. Bavarian Auto Sport, www.bavauto.com).
