Exclamation

FYI, word from Strano these days is the Bilstein HD vs. SLP versions are the SAME, as they both now supposedly have the same part #s (which was NOT always the case in the past):

Lowering springs DO provide a purpose though. They improve your handling by lowering your car's center of gravity. Sway bars will improve handling more than any mod you can do though. Good shocks, good bars, good springs, good handling.

i wounder why they sell the same shocks but with different names and prices... the HD's are $4 cheaper than the slp's on the WS6 store.

Because they used to be different parts. According to Sam, the SLPs have a slightly different valving.
