I have a set of Bilstein coilovers for sale.

They only have about 800 miles on them and in perfect condition. Only reason I'm selling them is I went with a more aggressive setup.

These ride really great. One thing to note is the highest the front will go is about 1.5" lower than stock.

Front OEM top hats and bearings INCLUDED. These usually do not come with the Bilsteins. I had to order them from Ford. I did this so I wouldn't have to take them off the OEM struts and have to use a spring compressor. Saves some time.

Rear bump stops and dust boots NOT INCLUDED. You swap them from your rear OEM struts. Easy as pie. The aluminum top hats I will include.

Asking $700

How is the ride? I'm not looking for anything extreme or super adjustable just a step up from my stock pogo stick suspension. I've been considering these bilsteins for a long time as I don't want to just go lowering springs. Also, you mention the ride height at the front won't go higher than 1.5"...any pics of how that looked on your car. I am running the stock set up at the moment. Does it rub or sink the front into the wheel wells at all???

Ride is pretty darn good. I think it's better than stock. It's firmer than stock but doesn't have that oscillation that the stock suspension has.

With 205/45/17 the tires rubbed a little on the front. with 40's you will be fine. I would measure 1.5" lower than you currently are and see where you would be. The rears I had a 1.25" lower than stock but it could go higher.

Spring rates are:

Bilstein coilovers
275 f
230 r

Stock
171 f
143 r

Here is a photo before I raised the front about .30" higher which put the top of the tire about one index finger away from the fender lip:

So nice. That is the exact height I want my FiST..
If I hadn't just had to pay all my bills and car note and everything, I would pick these up.

That ride height, if the tires are the same diameter as my street tires is about as low as one can go and maintain proper geometry and looks great, not to low for daily driving, nice setup:)

Bilsteins are great and live a long time, I have ran many sets for long periods, lots of miles.
