I was wondering has anybody tried the bilstein shocks? i want to change my shocks but don't know which to go with, i've heard of bilstein's so i was wondering if anybody has any experience with them. its either these or the KYB AGX's

thanks~

 

Well, personally I like the KYB AGXs.
Many people use them and not many at all complain.

Heck even the autocrossers use them....well those or the Koni Yellows are the two most suggested struts out there.

 

I love my AGXs, they are relatively inexpensive and they can be adjusted in about 45 seconds(all 4 corners)

I have them mated to the Eibach Pro-kit and i love the ride and adjustability

 

Which bilstein's? They have quite a few different series to choose from. The basic replacments are so so. The Motorsport series are rather nice,they are servicable and re-valvable so you can change compression/rebound values.

 

i had bilsteins, they were nice and tight

 

Bilstein are one of the best shocks made.

 

Well i was just looking on ebay and it doesn't give a type....i'm thinking they are the basics?!~ there going for 289 and the kyb agx are 279...so they are about the same but ones adjustable rite?!~

 

How much stiffer would they be compared to stock?

 

yea agx's are nice, but I would trade mine any day for some koni yellows

 

ya i want the koni's but there twice as much!! or maybe i should go with the illumina's? i heard there are new shocks coming out from tokico...true?

 

1. You want adjustablility.

You have two options. AGX or save for Koni Yellows.

 

I would suggest the AGX. I had bilstein, AGX. I definitely think the AGX's are the best bang for your dollar. As far as adjustability goes, it covers a whole range of ride from comfy soft ride to autox style firm ride. The Bilsteins are well made but there will be those days when you need to adjust ur shox according to your mood.

 

Thanks, thats the answer i'm looking for
