Bilstein

[Cammy]

Does anyone know the difference between the 2 Bilstein kits for the Bravo (streetline and sprinitline), other than £200. They both have springs and dampers, but whats different???

Streetline has 'standard' shocks (they are actually alot better than standard ones) and the sprintline has stiffened shocks.

Any really advantage of the stiffer shocks?

What about adjustable sets like coilovers, are they are good?

Not really if you ask me, just makes motorways really uncomfortable

Do you mean adjustable shocks? Coilovers are something very different!

I'd keep away from cheap adjustable shocks like the plague, Spax are awful and they are generally far too stiff. They are for the tosser Saxo drivers really. If you make the shocks too stiff you will actually loose grip on bumpy surfaces, its better to have them slightly on the soft side.

No idea, stick to Bilstein. I know they are good.

Just remember, most rally cars use bilstein
