I didn't think of that, good call!! I thought, bilsteins or I thought ground control has adjustable sleeves or "spring perch" that you can install on your shocks to lower the car.
The Ground Control setup is a coilover sleeve, and is universal, which would work, but not the optimal setup.
The Bilsteins were designed to work at all settings, the valving is correct. No problems!

Thanks for the replies, I think maybe I'll try "Supra90turbos" way sounds like that may be the answer. I already have the Bilstein/ Eibach combo on my hot rod, it's firmer for sure, which is what I don't want for my daily driver.
Any more segestions anyone, all answers, are welcome.


Thanks ,.. all!

I think the stock springs, in conjunction with the Bilsteins would really make the car feel good. Not too stiff, just sportier.

Anyone have pics of this bilstein adj. Shock cus I'm all kinds of interested now


Somewhat good pic here, you can see the perch is silver, and the two lines under are where the snap ring can go to lower it more.

Your saying the valving for the bilstiens is close to stock?

They're a bit stiffer than stock, but I can't really compare too accurately as I put Suspension Techniques springs on at the same time.
