    22/28 w/ Bilstein sports f/r

    Rubber bushings all around.

    factory sways front/rear.

    Thoughts on this? Was on the fence about sport vs. HD in the front but Chuck at Elephant felt the sports were a better match for the 22's.

    Bilstein rates

    With 22mm front bars on the front and 28mm bars on the rear you have increased the effective wheel rate by more than twice the standard rate.

    At very high acceleration rates I think that you may find either Sport or Heavy Duty to be a bit underdamped as they both tend to be an upgrade for stock spring rates.

    As you increase spring rate you generally need to increase damper rates.

    I would look for custom valving or fit a good adjustable so you can tune them in to suit.

    The rubber bushings may also benefit from an upgrade.
