Default What to expect from Bilstein HD's?

Swapping in some bilstein HD's on our DX coupe (stock springs).. hoping to stiffen things up a bit but not too much..

Not really. Stiffer springs would see the ride get stiffer.

and since ur in the states, theres plenty of options for shock/spring combo.

why u chose bilstein over all the other proven brands is a mystery to me..

(unless you went to a local auto parts store)

Bilstein is a proven choice. Just not as popular in the Honda world (or maybe just not popular on H-T).

I guess I'll start looking in to springs, but we do not want to lower the car any so that seems to be harder to track down. Any suggestions? Bilsteins are widely used for European cars (I am an Audi enthusiast with a few in the stable, so I go with brands I trust).
