Guest EGOXRT Guests Posted 03/06/09 03:42 PM Share Posted 03/06/09 03:42 PM I have this combo and the ride is not harsh at all. I have different valving on my Bilsteins compared to what you buy off the shelf, as well as an adjustable spring seat.Give Quadrant suspensions in Berwick a call about the shocks.
