Bilstein B6 Struts and Shocks on a 1le

Had to get rid of the wheel gap so I will be installing -1.25 BMR springs along with a whole bunch of goodies from JPSS. Thinking about installing Bilstein B6 struts/shocks. Anyone do this swap? Looking for feed back:
Did it keep the handling neutral?
What were the positives/negatives?
Was the improvement worth $500?(will be selling my 1le struts).

Thanks for the input

Pete aka JPSS has said that the Bilstein struts with DSE coils are a good choice; although not adjustable if u need that.


Look at Post #4 here:

Thanks, I read that thread/post. I searched, but couldn't find anything with first hand experiences.

Member 20152SS1Le has BMR lowering springs and the Bilstein tubes.

You might shoot him a PM for an opinion.
