Is the Bilstein BTS Suspension system worth the money? www.shox.com has it for $569

"BTS system with Bilstein shocks and springs set of 4. Lowers 30mm front and rear $569.00"

would my car handle and corner better with KYB gas-a-just shocks and BMR 1" lowering springs?

let me know what you guys think.....I don't want to spend too much on a springs/shocks setup. i think around 600 is my limit.

 

Well what do you want your car setup for? Auto cross? Just daily driving? I am sure others will ask more questions it just seems like those are the two main questions.

 

i will be at the drag strip every here and there but autoX is so fun.....i want my car to handle the best possible around corners and stuff. i put a BMR shock tower brace and polyurethane sway bar bushings and end links today and it made a huge difference....now i gotta get my SFCs welded on then i wanna do shocks/springs

 

the bilstien kits is the same hd shocks as sold of the shelf with lowering springs.i used the hd with eibach pro - kit from shox myself it was 50-75 cheaper than the eibach kit.you will love them. it corners on a rail.handles almost as well as my buddys zo6

 

thanks to atljar, i know where to get the bilstein shocks for $285 for all four. instead of spending all the money on the bilstein shocks/springs package i think i may want to just get the bilstein shocks and BMR or eibach pro kit springs. does anyone know which are stiffer and which will handle better? BMR's lower 1 inch.

 

anyone?

 

jeremy did you need to have your bilsteins revalved?

 

...........

 

most people who get bilsteins have only the fronts revalved. As far as that goes I'd talk to the guys at www.stranoparts.com its pretty much a one stop shop for F-Body suspension stuff and they really know their stuff. You can get the revalved shocks straight from them instead of buying them from a different place and sending them the shocks and then paying to get them back too They have excellent customer service and will help you pick out the perfect suspension for your needs. hope this helps

thanks ramrod chowder

 

no.havent revalved them i have had no problems with them.

 

I put Bilstein HD's on all four corners yesterday with a toally stock suspension. I love them. I didn't revalve them, and kept the stock springs. Personally, I don't think I would want much stiffer of a spring. The Bilsteins work great with my stock suspension.
