How is the ride quality? I live in Illinois and the roads are crap. How do the Bilstein shocks and struts soak up the bumps? Especially raised expansion joints which there are a ton of here! Thanks.

The ride quality is currently similar to the OEM 1LE as far as comfort is concerned, I am using BMR Linear rate springs with the shocks. I think Eibach progressive springs or OEM SS springs paired with these would produce a more enjoyable ride.

Performance wise, they are very good. This is probably the best setup I have tried that will hold me over until I can get a set of quality coilovers.
