Thread: Bilstein struts advice

    Bilstein struts advice

    I was wondering what kind of lowering springs can you run with the bilstein hd struts available for our cars? I know they are not the sport struts so they have the internal bump stop that will stop you from using many lowering springs but are there any you can use without modifying the bumpstops? Also it appears from other threads that you may not be able to modify the bumpstops in the bilsteins anymore, can anybody confirm if this is true? If anybody has been running bilsteins with lowering springs of any kind without modifying the bumpstops can you please comment and let me know how long you have had them and the brand of spring.

    Thanks

    New Bilsteins are "sealed" to prevent you cutting the bumpstops, at least the models I've seen.
