Bilstein 5100's

Post  boknows on Sat Mar 21, 2009 9:20 pm

So, my rear suspension is running a lot rougher than the front. the front just sucks up anything but the back follows up with a hard hit. i have the shocks flipped in the back, boot on the bottom. Anyone know if this affects the valving or compression of the shock?

Bilsteins are known to be "stiff."

Running them upside down doesn't change how they perform.

Need to get hardtop off and see how it rides. Although I cannot imagine that would make much difference

removing your hard top will make a difference and not for the better.

I ran them before and just put the rear's back on and I think they are way better than the Full Traction shocks that I ran before and am glad to have them again.
