Hey, Bilstein states that since these aren't adjustable dampening, they have them set for what they believe is great for street use. It's better than my Teins in terms of bouncing on bad roads and is a bit stiffer than stock but there's not much to configure. I switched out since I was going to have Bilstein service them and didn't have access to my oem suspension - my schedule is tight so my only option at the time was to have a shop order Teins and swap these out.
Instead of sending it to Bilstein the shop recommended I leave it pre-assembled and sell it instead. At one point, one of the front struts did have a clunk because the tophat needed to be tightened, most of the miles were from the drive to the shop to have it inspected, he did tighten it properly and said it's good to go.
