[s-cars] STAY AWAY FROM BILSTEIN SHOCKS

[Darin Nederhoff]

Funny, I've never had trouble with Bilsteins but have heard of/seen more
than a few Koni failures.  Bottom line, nothing is perfect.  Take your pick.

Last summer when I was deciding what to do about my suspension, I
talked to the guys at NEA (Northern European) in Concord NH.  They
told me they will NEVER install Bilsteins again.  Only Koni's for
them.  They've had too many problems.  Now even after listening to
this, I was unable to come up with any other anectodes like theirs -
so I bought the Bilsteins anyway.  From somebody else....  I thought
they'd be less harsh on the roads we have to deal with around here.

I wonder if this was the kind of problems they were referring to?

there inverted design, and the failed sealling cap, water was able to get
down into the strut housing. What hapens to water in subzero temps(like here
in the north east? IT FREEZES!!!  What happens to a shock that cant compress
because of frozen water? I f***kn bends. He did not care to hear to
it....said i shoudve drillled holes in the side of my strut housings. Never
