TRD shocks and springs

Fast AND comfortable = Good :)
I have had Koni yellows before in standard length struts, and once they
were installed, I never found any reason to adjust them Smile After all, who
wants to have to dismantle the front suspension and take the insert out
to adjust shocks !! My understanding was that the adjustment was only
there to compensate for wear.

I'm not a hardcore racer. I don't want rock hard suspension. I don't
want/need knobs, valves, external reservoirs, height adjustment or
complications... although height adjustment would be nice. Maybe I'll
convert my struts to coilover one day. I want "set and forget" Smile

What I am looking for just now is a set of shocks customised to suit my
car. I already have the AGX which fit, but which were designed for
other cars with different weight and springs. They work, but there is
definitely room for improvement. As you say, B6 or B8 cut down to suit
my struts should be suitable. I'll see what the Bilstein agent suggests.

Cheers... jondee86
