I want to replace the shocks in a 98' V70 (not mine)
The driver wants the car to feel like my 97' 850 R wagon
If we went with Bilstein which series would you guys recommend to replicate the ride?

Thanks,
Chet

 

Personally, I like the TC. It is a little bit sportier then stock but is not has harse as the HDs.

 

I've never ridden on the TC's but I've got the HD's and Eibach springs in my '97 855 GLT. VERY firm, sporty ride, but I can still cart the wife and baby around w/o complaint about bumps. I love this set-up!

 

I have Sachs/Boge on the front and Bilstien TC on the rear and I love the ride on H&R Springs.

 

Thanks guys, that was helpful

I've had the Bilstein HDs, TCs and the KONIs on my two Rs w/ Eibach springs and strut braces. By far, the HDs were the best ride. The TCs were sloppy and choppy and the KONIs are too harsh even in the softest setting. Go for the Bilstein HDs. You won't regret it.
