There's about a 60 dollar difference, any input? Thanks. -Andrew 2000 Black CSVT My Cardomain

The Bilsteins are quite "rough" in the ride quality department. That is a trade of for handling prowress. I love my Bilsteins though... 2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor!

I have been contemplating the same thing because I want at least an inch drop. But Id love to have the Bilstein's. -tropictour 2000 Contour SVT Tropic Green SHO Shop CAI Bassani 1999 Contour SE BAT Kit

The amount is not quantified but yes they do not generate as low of a drop as a normal strut because of the aggressive valving and bound/rebound. 2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor!
