Certainly the dampers are...probably one of thje best you can buy.
I'd probably match them to Eibach or H&R springs...for a good handling set up...but not mega low.

One of my VR6 has Bilstein B6, with HR springs. Its a very ''stiff'' setup. You really get to know all the potholes :laugh: Im running the standard rims with 205/50-15.

Excellent choice, eibach springs are the better choice.

bilstein black are standard o.e replacements and yellow are the sport versions. As far as I'm aware bilstein don't make there own springs and if they come as a sport kit with black shockers it's not really a sport kit (shockers are not shortened so you loose some ride comfort as they will be mid way through there compression)
I can say eibach springs are good (I had some -40mm sportline versions) and the recomended shocks are boge (eibach use these to develop there springs)
-
so if they are black ones(oe replacements) then are they still ok or just like for like?

bilstein black are o.e spec (not uprated) but they are certainly good quality

Put it this way Koni are way better than eibech or wietec etc.
Bilstien are better than Koni.
In other works the dogs!
