ITR Bilstein Shocks

Are they aftermarket shocks like KONI or KYB is?
are ITR Bilstein Shocks better than stock ITR shocks?
how much would a set of ITR Bilstein Shocks cost?

 

They're Bilstein shocks for an ITR.

Bilstein is reputable manufacturer of suspension pieces.

 

you can get them for low 400s

I highly recommend the bilsteins.

even with spring rates that make koni's wimper like the little bitches they are.

VW guys swear by Bilsteins...thats why I dont

So off-the-shelf Bilstein HD's will handle more rate than off-the-shelf Koni's?

I know Bilstein has incredible compression and rebound settings for a stock shock. You need to really lean on them to get the shaft to move in.

 

You can use up to 600 # springs with Bilsteins without revalving.

 

ITR Bilsteins = Sports.

But my HDs handle 600# springs fine, no bounce at all.

 

i have the SP bilsteins and love them. Of course I haven't really learned all i need to on the car so my springs are still stock, but i got them for the reason they could take a higher spring rate without revalving.

they will not fit your 1.6EL they only fit eg and dc2 with dc2r rear lca's

 

I'm using normal DC2 LCAs with my bilsteins.

 

do you folks find any benefit at the Solo1 level to getting double adjustable shocks? The concern is the independent rebound control moreso than the compression adjustability. I'm just wondering if the single adjustable type of shock where compression and rebound are changed by equal amounts for each setting are more than adequate...or do you wish you had the double adjustability?
