[s-cars] 95 S6 shocks

[JC]

Not only that but price? Billy's are usually a pretty cheap option in my 
book.  I've always considered them very good value. Konis are always 
considerably more.  OEM Sachs are good but similarly priced and not 
quite as sportaah.

Billy downside IME is being a little overdamped in the sportier models 
and have such a reputation.  I have run a number of "HD" (aka 
stock-sport-replacement - on the S6 right now) and they tend to be a 
great option for OEM bolt-on.  The Bilstein factory-setting Sports (for 
dropped springs) tend to be a on harsh side for a lot of applications. 
Guys will order custom valved versions of the Sports to tone down the 
damping, I've never done that but apparently its a good improvement - 
you just need to know the secret sauce to ask for for your given spring 
rates.

That said, it sounds like your requirement is to match up to OEM springs 
- the idea of rebuilding the current Billy's, or, buying replacement 
HD's if yours are somehow rusted beyond rebuild, would be at the top of 
my list.
