They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

I've got Bilstiens on three of my four driving cars & the fourth will have them to when the OE shocks get replaced... One of the best upgrades I've done to my Challenger..

Firm Feel high recommends Bilstiens and I cannot argue. The KYB's are an improvement over stock but the Bilstiens are in thier own league. 01 Viper GTS ACR 10 Challenger RT PCP 6spd 70 Challenger 440 6 pac 73 Cuda 416 Road Racer 70 Hemi Roadrunner 01 Ram 4x4 / 98 Ram 3500 91 Stealth RT 05 Durango Hemi 09 Caliber / 99 Dakota 4x4 / 52 Dodge B3B

Sure, cheap ones will work okay, some of the time with some combinations, but to really make things work well together, you need to spend the money to put a quality unit in to the equation.
