Let's start a retrospective thread

[sukchew at cox.net (Chuck Blue)]

    Don't over look the H&R coilovers.I just installed a set and am very 
happy with the ride and feel of the car after a 1000 mile shake down.I took 
off stock struts with the H&R sports.The shaft size is not that important to 
me.I have no plans for competition and I am not a very aggressive drive.If 
you are driving hard enough to bend the shafts on cornering you probably are 
out of control anyway.
That's my .02
  Dan,I'm working on the MS Data log.I'll be in touch when I know a little 
more about MS versions and stuff. I was sent and extra processor and have no 
Idea what it is or what it is for.
 I am in the middle of a major Honey do project and have little time for car 
right now. I burnt my time with the suspension and brake project.So now I 
must do the house stuff.

Yes, the Bilstein sports that I've seen have shaft that is virtually the 
diameter of the shock body.
Very stiff in bending and there is no way you could use the stock bump stop.
Measurements to follow I hope.

  I beleive the instructions for the sports said to not use a bump stop 
because they have internal bump stops.  The sports also have a very large 
diameter piston shaft which I heard lessen the chance of it bending under 
sharp cornering.

    when it does come into play.
    So basically the strut has got to be shorter or the top of the strut 
needs
    to mount higher up.
    Or perhaps you dispense with the stock bump stop, revise the strut 
design so
    the stop is internal and the strut is effectively shorter. I'm hoping 
that
    is what Bilstein has done.
