That's funny
I have KYB's on mine and felt that it was a great improvement. Never had the Bilstien's so I cannot say either way on those.

Buy the Bilstiens & don't look back.... 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..

I have KYB's on my 70 Challenger, had bilstiens on a vette and will have bilstiens on my cuda. 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.

Shocks interaction with the suspension is not unlike a cams interaction with an engine. 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.

although if your car is a trailer queen with oem suspension, and the only time you drive it is to car shows, I see no need to spend the extra cash...if you plan on driving the car - bilsteins.

There was a thread on this within the last month, search for 'bilstein' and you'll surely find it.
'Why so much hatred for the kybs' IIRC.
