[s-cars] Front end vibrations

[Matthew Russell]

Thanks Steve for the reply.
Yes, the description said they were adjustable. Glad to hear about  
your positive experience. What springs are you running? Sedan are avant?

You're not the first that's mentioned valving for Bilsteins. That,  
along with a rebuild might fix this issue.

But I haven't been entirely happy since I bought the car. How worn  
they were before I took ownership is anyones guess, but they went from  
not great to crappy in < 10,000 miles.
