[mark.peele@juno.com (Mark A. Peele)]

I had a set of Bilsteins on my beloved 81 S that gave me over 200,000
miles - they were still good when a Honda plowed into my front right
quarter in a snowstorm in 1993. Damn! that was the best car!!!!!!

I read the same thing somewhere.  Can anyone vouch for the fact that
Bilstein lasts LONGER than Koni?

What springs do you use them with?

Thanks!
