    merong adjustable, merong hindi.

    20k huling tanong ko for the comfort shocks. malamang mag mahal para sa sport.

    try googling makna marketing, sila official distributor dito sa pinas. you can also ask if they have a set for your car.

    pero kung adjustable damping hanap mo, go with koni or tein nalang.

    konis range from mga 30-40k, mga 50k and up naman para sa tein.

    adjustable damping rates. you can adjust the stiffness of the shocks.

    KYB ka nalang if you're not into circuit/track at pang-city driving lang.

    hi. i'm thinking of replacing the shocks of my EK civic. warak na ata e. what are the advantages/disadvantages of bilstein comfort shocks over the stock shocks of honda. i'm not into sport shocks and ang habol ko talaga is yung stock ride. pero i'm thinking kasi kung mas comfortable ang bilstein comfort shocks, e ito na lang siguro.

    sorry for the thread hi-jack

    Kung comfort and hindi naman pang sports... go to EOM na lang.

    bilsteins will ride stiffer than stock most of the time.

    if you have the budget for oem tho go with bilsteins instead.

    up ko lang mga sir..
    medyo naguguluhan din pa kasi ako, panong stiffer ride pag bilstein shocks kesa stock shocks? kakapalit ko lang kasi ng springs and parang ang talbog ng ride, ramdam ko kahit pag baba sa pangit na humps..

    pag nag bilstein shocks ba, mawawala ung talbog na feeling?
    thanks mga bro

    Is it true that Bilstein guarantees that their shocks will outlast the car?

    Since this is a subjective matter (it's in the feel) the best thing to do is find a friend whose car has Bilstein shocks (all MBs have bilstein as factory shocks) and have a ride in their car.

    to know how it will ride you have to ride in an exact car as yours with the exact shock and spring combo as you and same size rims and tires. you can't ride in a benz with bilsteins and expect a civic to ride the same way.

    yes sir tama kayo. pero may assurance naman na pag nagpalit to bilstein, atleast mababawasan ung ramdam sa lubak at gaganda ung ride diba kahit ano pa ung spring?

    Yung base model na suspension ng Benz naka-Bilsteins na agad. hehehe. Yung base model din na Bilsteins din siguro. Pero maganda ang ride. Maganda tuning ng spring+shock combo.
