Well, that's my question. What would the difference be between new OEM BMW 325is dampers and the Bilstein HDs? How would the ride/handling be different in either?
Are the BMW "is" dampers even different then the "i" dampers, or even the "e" or "es" dampers? I would think there would be some differences throughtout the range, but I really don't know.
My specific application is an 87 325is; It has it's stock suspension, as it came from the factory. (as far as I can tell)... I DD the car now, and although the car takes sudden bumps and potholes pretty dang hard, I can tell the dampers are worn out because the car bounces a little much over rolls and dips. In the spring I will be putting new dampers in, along with a lot of other things, to make the car into a stage rally car. I'm leaving the stock springs, just want new dampers. I assume I want something that will keep the car off the ground, keep it from bottoming out. It may get airborne a small amount. haha. Anyone else have any other good option ideas for this application?
So, what are the difference between the BMW shocks, and the Bilstein HDs?
