    Bilstein Sport shocks for SWB?

    After hours of research it seems that Bilstein HD fronts and Sport rears is a set up of choice for SWB cars. However a call to Bilstein Canada today revealed that there are no Sport shocks available for SWB, just the HD version. Can someone please shed some light on this for me? Perhaps someone has part #s.

    TIA

    I have no answer to your question but would ask what you are going to do with the car. Bilstein Sports are very stiff. Many people find them way too stiff for a street car and revert to the HD's all around. If stiff is what you want and the sports are unavailable, just have some HD's rebuilt to Sport rebound/compression specs. Bilstein in San Diego will do this. A better idea is to have Elephant redo them using digressive valving...this will leave the stiffness but tame the very harsh behavior of the Sport somewhat. $275 a pair.
