MY081:
A very good Question !! I've had both' in my opinoin the Konis were better on the front and Bilsteins better on the Rear . Not sure of the type of Bilsteins I have but there the Yellow with Blue top ( double acting or something ) There fantastic and really hold the rear end down . Ray

Vettech:
Funny but all three of my Vetts have had original Bilsteins on them, but all were a trillion years old.
Ergo - I have no real appreciation of what a good Bilstein does.

I put KYB ON THE 87. AND whalla, felt like a new car.

I may only have this car for..... a short time, so I definitely wont wear either tyres or shocks out.

The Kumho's with a set of Gabriel Ultra Gas are cost effective - so time to bite the bullit.

I'll get D4 to order them on the hairnet asap, since trying to get a look at the RHF shock, unfortunately now means I cant retighten that shock.

HERE'S A QUESTION - some shocks have an allen keyed top, others like bilstein have a reduced dia bolt with two flats, Is there a special tool ?

Probably quicker to cut them off, the back are bolts so should come straight off.

Regards.

Thanks for the responses
I have seen KYB under $200 a shock
Konis a bit more around1200 a set of 4
Bilsteins for my other car cost 2 k
Very harsh ride but great feedback and good at speed
Too firm at low speed and slippery in the rear
Any one got some other comments?
Best

I have a set of KYB shocks I purchased for a C3 , I neve  mounted them as I changed directions on that set up.
I believe they are a good option for C3's
