I haven't change mine but here an old thread with good info.

SHOX.com as an SSR Fanatic Supplier

I can't find the thread but somewhere something is said about the newer Bilstein are larger with better valving then the stock ones.

Thanks for the vote of confidence Jack, but I'm not a dealer for Bilstein...... I will be carrying them on my web site in the near future, using shox.com as my drop-ship source. I'll be selling them at the same price as shox.com, but not making any money at it..... I'll just be a conduit for ordering from them. The cut-throat competition in that marketplace is horrific and I am not going to try and compete. The guys at shox.com are great and I'm just going to stay connected to promote their business.

Regards,

Mike
