    What do you know about Bilsteins?

    How do they rate against Tokicos and KYBs? They're not as expensive as Tokicos, I might give them a try. Why do so few people have them?

    I went over to Corolla-Racing.com and apparently they're an OEM replacement type strut and an alternative to KYBs. I'm avoiding Tokicos, cause my 1st pair mysteriously blew for some reason...

    Bilstein is a really good company. Mainly popular in the euro and 4x4 scene.
