So i did pick up the Bilsteins for a JDM E-Tune GT-B comes complete with black springs(no STI pinks, dang it) So like some have told me it will raise my front end up on my BE Sedan. What springs would work with the Top Hats on the JDM Bilsteins, DD car by the way so i DONT want to be slammed, maybe 1" drop or no more... Seriously haven't even seen anyone with Pictures of Bilsteins setup(mostly all KYB or Coilovers)

1: In the future, what is a replacement top mount for these?
2: What replacement springs for -1" max? (besides finding the impossible jdm pinks)

The replacement top mount would be the same as for your car.. assuming the bilstein setup is for your model year car.

Finding the JDM pink springs isnt hard.. just costly. You will probably drop down a bit with the GT-B springs, but not too much. Next lower drop may be some other type of springs, like H&R or something.

Seriously? Is the search button that foreign to you? My car's thread in the MR1 is filled with pictures of a " Bilsteins setup". There's 3 other cars in the same section that I can name off the top of my head that has something similar.

Stop making people spoonfeed you this info and making these redundant threads. If youre so doubtful about it, sell what you already bought and stick with what you have now.

1.) You would need top hats for your car. If there are some GroupN versions of them available, they would be a worthwhile upgrade.
2.) There are thousands of spring options for you out there. Do some research on what springs people are using and look at their pictures.

The original questions have been answered in this thread and I think it would be worthwhile for you to do a little more searching on this topic, then perhaps make a new thread with some more precise questions. There is a lot of information on this forum regarding Bilstein setups.
