Valving is different. Slight differences on housing/mounting tabs (looks only - fits exactly the same).

 

Thanks. I figured it was only the valving and like you said the housing. I just thought it could piston size as well because the stock KYB is slightly smaller according to the OP.

 

We had a set in for the first time in 30 years last week, all gone. Another SmikeEvo set-up.

BUT we are working a little more with Bilstein these days and hope to have these in with some more regularity.

Thats great to hear!!! Bilstein needs to make more of them (and more consistently).

 

Randy Pobst said he liked how my car handled with this combination.

 

Hm. I'm thinking about it. I think I need more power before I need to worry about handling. Looks amazing though. Congrats on the successful install!

 

Actually, I would do brakes and suspension first. Having done power cars in the past, power is fun when you can use it. But having a car the could turn all the time was worth it all the time.

 

Great install! I was wondering if anyone has tested or heard anything about the bilstein sp(sport) struts??

 

Fronts are labeled Sports - Heavy Duty, rears are just labeled Heavy Duty.

 

Is there any clearance issue with this strut setup on wider wheel/tires, say 18x9.5/10 and 265's?

 

Was wondering the same thing as the above question.

 

Looks PIMP man. This is just the setup I am looking for. Where did you buy the struts and springs from?

 

^ thanks.

I got the struts from Neal at TireRack and the springs from IndyEvo.

No clearance issues with 18x9 and 265/35 R 18 tires.

Looks great. Are there any coilovers that have a shaft as thick as the Bilsteins? The part looks very HD.

 

This post further confirms my decision to go with this combo.
