RE: Riley McDowall <mcm@intergate.bc.ca>: Re: Help me suspension gurus!
I have a set of Bilstein HD's on my 80 Scirocco and I love em. I live
in the city where the sport (from what I here) may be a little too
stiff. I get a considerably stiffer ride than say KYB, but not so
much that I feel like I've been beat up. These shocks are excellent
on the highway also. I am very happy with the feel of my ride.
John
80 Scirocco S

I had a set of Bilsteins on my beloved 81 S that gave me over 200,000
miles - they were still good when a Honda plowed into my front right
quarter in a snowstorm in 1993. Damn! that was the best car!!!!!!

I read the same thing somewhere. Can anyone vouch for the fact that
Bilstein lasts LONGER than Koni?

What springs do you use them with?
Thanks!
