I would give them a

I've used the Bilstein touring and, lately, the Sports on my GSR.
They're awesome shocks and are built to survive a third
world war.

The touring Bilsteins are only meant to be stock replacement shocks.
The sports shocks for the ITR work well with the ITR springs but come
with a shorter shaft, adjustable spring perches and can handle up to about
600 lb springs. They are very stiff and will knock your radio out of
the dashboard if it's not properly screwed down. That's from experience.

Trellix78 is correct. I contacted Bilstein today and asked about the Touring Car shock and was told it was a factory replacement, not to be used w/ any other spring then the one that came w/ the car. Thanks for all the replies and help.

Thanks-Jason

I used Bilstein HD's with Neuspeed race springs for about 2years. THEY ARE EXCELLENT!
I changed my entire setup to ITR 5 lug, but I've kept the Bilstein/neuspped setup in the garage and would love to put them back on when I get non-itr LCA's that will work with my swaybar...

I have since bought bilsteins for my Jeep and am totally happy with them.
I say use the Bilsteins

but does that mean that using aftermarket springs on Touring class shocks will void the warranty?
