Well, its winter bench racing time, and I'm in the market for some new shocks. I've been running the Bilstein Sports for 3 seasons, replaced one set on the front, original on the rear, stock valving. Problem is, after half a season, I notice there is play in the piston. I want to replace these with a shock that can handle a 600# spring in the front and a 400# in the rear. I've heard a bunch of differeing opinions on the two, but they are the two top choices in my mind. My sports rode good but, they were a little bit overwhelmed under heavy load. I've heard that the Koni's are an ok shock but have a tendency to over heat quicker than the Bilsteins, while the Bilsteins are superior because they are self adjusting in dampening??? Also I'm having a hard time tracking down the proper Bilstein shock that I am looking for. Its the full bodied shock, not the drop in style. So whats everyone like and why?
