Bilstein makes a great product! [thumb]

I had them (HDs) on my '89 A2 16V GTI, and they stood up (very well!) to; working bad/rough Pro Rally stages, many autocrosses, and daily driven, long term use on some REALLY shitty roads, etc.

IF I did not want at least rebound adjustability, they would be the go to damper for me to use on this car as well. [wink]

I'm hoping my HD/B6/whatever they call it now will last like yours did. I would've went the Koni route if the rears weren't such a PITA to adjust. If only they still used the side adjuster and include a silicone cap or something for it... oh well.

Love these B8's with the Suspension Techniques springs. Unbelievable value for the B8's with the improved handling performance, road compliance and comfort they provide. They are worth every penny and a steal for what they're going for.

Just for confirmation;

ARE, or are not, the ST springs progressive for the front and rear in our app??

Also, will the B8's valving definitely 'handle'/work with the Swift Spec-R spring rates properly?

I've posted enough photos of the ST springs to be self evident.

How much did they cost front and rear? I didn't see that on the web site and I'm going to call my local dealer tomorrow and wanted a base liner in case they try and bend me over. I looked on tire rack and they say they don't fit wtf

Did you need to add camber bolts to correct the camber? What was camber after the spring install?
