Whats wrong with the Bilstien oe ones?

I put oe bilstiens on my last box when I got it. My current one just got the same treatment. Reusing the original springs will retain your ride height.

To me (I don't race) these cars handle magnificently without any need for performance dampeners or high load springs. But that's my own opinion.

at 100K, my springs were out of whack with each other. The front right spring was softer then the drivers side if I pushed on them out of the car, leading me to believe that my springs are worn out. Also, the rust...one side was covered in rust. The coilovers I put in have a "close to stock" spring rate best I can tell. they feel fine and I dont race either.
