Bilsteins on an Expedition

[IMm29]

Anyone fit Bilsteins on an Expedition? How did they affect the ride vs. the stock shocks? Around how much did the Bilsteins cost you?

Thanks.

ask ungas, he has bilstein on the beast.
freeman pala sells them,

[Ungas]

Sina boybi & woodfire naka Bilstein din but none of us is driving an Expedition. I could safely say that quality has its own price. A shock absorber would cost from 5-6K.

nabasa ko sa C! magazine, si david bunevacz naka exped equipped with bilsteins and H&R springs. ok naman yung ride according to the writer of the story.

[ssaloon]

try mo pumunta sa shop ni ferman a.k.a. auto_xer. fusrion R yung name, located along e. rodriguez. he sells bilsteins. di ko lang sure kung meron sya pang revo.

i have bilsteins in my pajero and bmw e36. the performance is faaaaantastic!!!

[IMm29]

thanks guys!

the ride on the exped is about alright. it's soft and not too punishing. being the typical american car ride, you tend to look for a less "floaty/boaty" feel sometimes.

i'm considering the bilsteins coz they supposedly give a firmer, but not harsh ride on the exped, and with the 5-6K price range, it's still cheaper than what Ford is quoting me (8K) for OEM fluid types.

woodfire,
mas firm/less bouncy nga ba yung ride nung bilstein sa pajero mo?

yes, firm but not harsh. better handling overall! besides, they do tend to last quite some time so the price is worth it.

thanks woodfire! will look for bilsteins when the time comes

check for differences in bilstein shocks..

i have bilsteins on both my MBs... and ang napansin ko.. may differences sila.. better make sure you get the right one to suit your needs.. kasi sa kotse ko.. meron palang Soft, Comfort at Heavy Duty Bilsteins.... I have heavy duty on my sedan.. and i must say.. ang tigas ng ride nya pag isa ka lang sa loob.. pero once napuno.. hanep naman sa ganda ng ride...

[IMm29]

thanks for the tip, HBOY. ganun pa pala yon? me iba't ibang model pa. ok, will check.

[HBOY]

i'm not sure for other applications.. but for MB bilstein shocks.. they differentiate it with BARS....

1 BAR = SOFT
2 BARS = MEDIUM
3 BARS = HARD (this is what i think i have in my MB sedan.. as it is heavy duty)

[IMm29]

well, sa bigat nung kaha nung MB sedan mo, i would think the shocks have got their work cut out for them.

[HBOY]

hehehe..... i've seen MBs that ride quite low....having used Soft Bilsteins.. i just wish i have these in my sedan... bihira rin naman kasi masakyan ng marami yun eh...

[IMm29]

o well. lemme keep that in mind, so i can inquire with them when i need to get my shocks.

thanks again. ;)

tnx ssaloon. bro mgkano naman kaya ang minimum na cost ng shocks?revo ride...

[ssaloon]

nagpaquote kasi ako before ng bilstein comfort shocks, 15k for a set of 4. di kasi ako familiar with the suspension system ng revo eh. pero kung di pa naman sira, wag mo muna palitan unless you have plans of heavily modifying your suspension

[jevy0712]

ssaloon maganda ba ang ride pag pinalitan ito lalo na pag bumabyahe me sa expressway kasi tag bulacan me at ang pangit ng kalsada sa NLEX. ok lang naman kung hind sira ung stock n shock basta ang habol ko ung comfort... tnx ssaloon

[ssaloon]

i didn't have bilsteins installed in my ride eh... try mo nalang mag KYB gas shocks. very good performance at a very wallet friendly price
