I bought a set of BLUE-colored bilstein shocks for my EK sedan. They're usually colored yellow, as (sport/street) replacements.
Im using those yellow ones in my EF and am happy with the ride even with ES master kit and eibach sportlines.
But on these blue ones, my EK feels OVERDAMPED. (they literally squeeze out the air from my lungs on "hoppy" roads) I'm using EK9 springs on them so i dont know if it's asking for a set of higher rate springs...
It feels more like a track day shock coz the car feels very stable at speed and controlled when pushing in corners (and i dont have stabilizer & strutbar upgrades YET! as in none front to end.)
I just wanna ask if anyone knows specifically what these blue ones are.
They came from japan and were taken off from an EK9.
I know they're quite old models coz i saw pics of similar ones for a Miata in an old japanese magazine. However i couldnt understand the japanese words so im lost for info. :mad:
Anybody familiar with them?
