Yep, can't tell anything without a complete inspection.


I have Bilstein for all 3 of my sports cars. My experience with them is, like you say, they last longer than any other brand I've tried. Other brands were good when new (KYB and Koni to name a couple), but wore out quick. I have yet to wear out a set of Bilsteins.
