New Damptronics
Just had my my TechArt springs & factory PASM shocks swapped out for Bilstein Damptronics at my local indy. Though only one day in, really happy so far with the way it handles: more feedback, but in a good way. Definitely feels more planted.
In case anyone is interested in the details, I had the Damptronics adjusted to be about a quarter inch lower than the drop I had with the TechArt springs. New heights are 26" front & 26 7/16" in rear. Corner balanced to 37.8% front - 62.2% rear, corners within 8 lbs. All alignment parameters ended up within factory specs, so I didn't have to use any additional suspension bits to compensate for the drop.
Now to enjoy...

Looks great, interested to hear your impressions stock vs. stock + springs vs. damptronics once they settle.

About 7 hours to swap parts, corner balance/adjust ride height and 4-wheel align, including time to use a torch & impact wrenches on the stubborn top nuts on the original front shocks.
