I will tell you about 50,000 miles from now. Just intalled Bilsteins and really like the handling and feel. Just remains to be seen if the durability is worth the price.

I have Bilsteins on my garage queen as well, love the feel, I think monroe, gabriel, sears, etc are really geared for the average driver and not people like us, IMHO.

I agree. I have run Monroes and Gabriels on past vehicles and was never really impressed.

I like my Bilstein HD's but they are a little pricey.
