They are good. I know some folks who have tried them, on various cars. Sharkwerks likes them too, I believe they are one of the few places that actively sells them. I would contact them and they could help you out.

Give the Ohlins Road and Track a look too. Half the price of the bilsteins, and offer some key features nobody else does, fantastic dampers. Ohlins spring rates are virtually same as offered by bilstein/KW clubsports, so it tells you this kit is more "track" and "road". It was a HUGE improvement over the stock shocks on my .1RS. The car went from fun, to an absolute joy to drive....either setup will transform the car.

I've driven the sharky 4.1 with the bilstein clubsports. Dramatic improvement over stock, esp over uneven road surfaces. I haven't had a chance to try Ohlins yet to compare but from my experience with the clubsports, the car should've come that way.

It's bilstein but it's the Motorsport division and parts. Think OE with crazy budgets and expensive hardware... Very easy to adjust, reliable without leaky and slower remote reservoirs making it good for a street car
