I just got back from my 1st road trip-1300 miles w/ my new non hd Bilsteins, & felt a lot better about them after I saw the difference on the road w/ big side winds a lot of the way. They seemed to resist the winds much better than my og Boges, & handled well on the many dirt washboard roads we drove on. Otherwise, the ride was not harsh, other than the occasional rattling of loose stuff in the westy(personal problem). Pax, Tom |
