Lightbulb how do Bilstein shocks hold up. *

i just purchased some bilstein shocks for my sc how do they hold up
do they have a good ride similar to stock or is it stiff
has any body had any expierence with these.
how do these hold to other shocks that are out on the market i.e. kyb's,tockiko etc.....

Probably are the most long lasting shocks you can buy for the car, the ride is nearly identical to stock TT shocks.I'm thinking the prices are around $70-$80 each.

are they a drop in affair with the SC suspension or does it need a swap of supra stuff?

i called shox.com and they said no bilsteins for the SC.
thanks!

i got them from ebay and they were 350.00 and 30.00 shipping. i should be getting them in about a week or so. i got the Supra application because its cheaper than SC i guess its because of the name lexus but there are interchangable.

Correct
Supra shock=supra spring
sc shocks= sc springs

wrong
Supra shock=sc springs
sc shocks =supra spring
