I'd find a good shock specialist in your country that could help you tune them to your preference. At some point you'll need to customize shocks and it sounds like that would be better for what you desire.

cool

it's a surprise that u know expert in china.

So, is there a contact like wechat for the expert u mentioned ?

After switching to stock for a while, i begin reevaluating the bilsteins actually.
But still worried if the bilsteins tend to be understeer than stock

jxtgy2: imho you put too much expectations in shocks, forgetting alignment, tire choice and even more so - own driving inputs/skills/experience. Shocks are just part of picture, not even biggest one. Even if just considering grip bias of more or less understeer. Even with stock shocks handling might be changed to very different by simply different alignment. Same with many aftermarket coilover offerings. And even with very understeery car there are driving technics to overcome that.
