Hmmm. I don't know what the wheeling is like in the Texas Hill Country, Tampa, Florida or Connecticut, but, as mentioned, several of my Intermountain West and Rocky Mountain brethren here in Idaho gave the Bilsteins the overwhelming thumbs up for our uses. Given that my current shocks are the suspension equivalent of rebar studs, I think I'll be good to go.
Please note that I have no personal experience with Bilstein as stated above, so my comments were based off the Jeep, Audi and BMW forums, where Bilsteins are not well liked, and in the BMW world, at least the e90 and e60 platforms, they are hated...hated....and more hated.
I hope they work for you and you like them. I am curious to hear feedback from you so follow-up with your thoughts.
