Dang. What rate were the springs - 400/500 f/r?

Did you have the 'Sport' model Bilstein's? What application did you order them for?


I'm asking because I had been looking at the Bilstein shocks. Please, more details!

High pressure gas shocks with not enough rebound dampening according to a lot of the M3 autoX's who opt for Koni adjustables.

Are you talking about the Bilstein 'Sport' shocks. I thought they were a lot closer in price.
