Alrite so i finally got the Bilstein sport dampers installed this weekend after having them sit in my closet for the last 2 months. They are paired up with Eibach ProKit springs. Now the original question was if the shocks had enough dampening force for our chassis. The answer is yes, they are pretty firm for just off the shelve shocks/struts. I previous setup was koni yellows with the eibach springs, and the yellows was not as firm as the bilstiens and i was running them at 1/4 from full firm. I believe they are the highest damped shocks/struts you can get for this chassis for something that is OTS. Because they are monotube design they also react really well to the road.
I thought the konis did pretty decent on the track when i went to Laguna Seca, so i am hoping these will perform better when i have a chance to go back ;)
Anyone looking of a sporty setup for the ep3 should look into these, they are on the expensive side (800+) but the quality and performance you get makes up for it.
