Yoda Member 131 Member For: 21y 8m 16d Gender: Male Location: Country Victoria Posted 17/11/05 03:48 AM Share Posted 17/11/05 03:48 AM I am looking to upgrade my shocks and have been told the Bilsteins are good. Just wondering who out there has them (apart from the member I have already spoken to) and what they thought as far as ride quality and handling goes?Thanks in advance.

The Koni's seemed to stiffen up the rebound at high speed and made the car feel more stuck to the road at turnin.Either Koni's or the Bilsteins are a great upgrade to your stock shocks, you will notice a difference.

They are the best quality shocks you will find . . . you won't be disappointed!

A while back, just out of interest, I asked about fitting Konis to my car. It was pretty pricey - around the $580 mark per PAIR of shockies, plus about $400 for fitting and wheel alignment.

Not sure on part numbers for BA. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/21368-bilsteins/#findComment-316264 Share on other sites More sharing options...
