This is from another post regarding shocks

Often the Bilstein "sporty road" setting is recommended by people as a replacement or performance upgrade. But the stiffness of them on the rear is almost doubled than the factory (standard) sport shocks from Bilstein...so with the "sporty road" the car get's much harder und way more uncomfortable! Do you know what kind of dampers the car currently has?


The settings number pattern is rebound/compression. You can see on this list that esp. the rear "sport street" damper is almost twice as stiff as standard version. The sport street setting is the stiffest on the market from Bilstein! For me this is very uncomfortable! Before ordering best you test drive such an equipped car.

I think based on your goals and for your driving preferences you have chosen a very stiff ride.
I run the adjustable koni reds and sport yellows on the cars I tune .
for the yellow the front is turned in about 2.5 hours from full soft frnt an full soft in the rear ,
The reds get 12 hrs and 3-4 more hrs, I want the softest ride for the street and good control and predictability for the canyons . Stock suspension from porsche is fantastic, a good alignment and a softer compression shock are the keys to a car that is comfortable and fun to drive
Any of my cars can keep up with any hot rod stiff super all the right high $ crap bought just to ruin the ride .

Just my thoughts
