Oh no!! not Bilstiens....sorry man.
Alot of BMW guys go for Bilstiens because they are cheaper than KW or Konis. In the last few weeks working with Rocco I've seen my share of blown shitty Bilstiens.
We just priced out a full set of Koni shocks and Eibach springs, installed for $1200 for an RX-8.

Bilstein is OEM for Mazda Rx7 R1, R2 and Rx8 R3. I don't think they are "shitty" at all.
Also, they have different design against Koni, and for some, monotube is better than twin tube.
For me I am too lazy to adjust and have Koni in my VW before so if I want to try something different...

PLease let us know definitely...also, take measurement and photos about what the shocks did to ride height? People here in the forum said the Bilstein RAISED the ride height a bit...?

Dodging those Corollas
iTrader: (2)
A lot of people on the forum when they talk about Bilstein shocks, they talk about HD... a.k.a B6....
I'm telling you, very VERY FEW people have the B8 shortened version...
The B6 may or may not increase the right height as they are about the same length as the stock shocks. The B8 is shorter, so increasing the height is impossible.

English usage and **** connotations
Assuming a specific **** usage of the term "Vaterland" (which in fact never existed), the direct English translation "fatherland" featured in news reports associated with **** Germany and in domestic anti-**** propaganda during World War II. As a result, the English word is now associated with the **** government of Germany[citation needed] (unlike in Germany itself, where the word means simply "homeland"). The word is not used often in post-World War II English unless one wishes to invoke the *****, or one is translating literally from a foreign language where that language's equivalent of "fatherland" does not bear **** connotations. The word Motherland in modern English carries similar associations with the Soviet Union.
Prior to Nazism, however, the term was used throughout Germanic language countries without negative connotations (e.g. in Hermann Broch's novel The Sleepwalkers), or often to refer to their homelands much as the word "motherland" does. For example, "Wien Neêrlands Bloed", national anthem of the Netherlands between 1815 and 1932, makes extensive and conspicuous use of the parallel Dutch word. In most European countries it is still the norm to use the term "fatherland" and many would be offended if it was in any way compared with Nazism.

albiet a fascinating piece of completely irrelevant information.....the rotary was not created until well after the "****" era......owned by my plethera of general and otherwise useless knowledge....

He developed mechanical applications with rotary concept (not engine specific) for the German military during the ****...
These are not useless knowledge man. Its the love of history and rotary.
http://www.fantasycars.com/sedans/co...16_rotary.html
Felix Wankel received his first patent for a rotary piston engine in 1929, five years after he first hatched the idea and 27 years after his birth in Lahr, Germany. Over the next decade and a half and during WW2, Wankel was involved in the development of a rotary disc type valve for use in aircraft and torpedo engines, thereby shelving the rotary engine project, and he held jobs at BMW, DVL, Daimler-Benz, Lilienthal and Junker Aircraft. Because of his military involvement, following the invasion of Germany in 1945 he was imprisoned until 1946, and his workshops and research were destroyed by French troops, further delaying his rotary research until 1951, when the German company NSU became interested in the project.
