Stock Bilstein suspension in BD5/BG5 lower?

[whogoesthere]

Hi there,

Found a set of Bilsteins for my bd5 legacy for $200, am wondering if the car will sit any lower with these in compared to the ride height of standard stardard struts?

Cheers

They sit slightly lower than stock struts. It's just noticeable...

So you reacon i should get them? I have a set of tein adjusties i got fully reconditioned in the garage though, they would be better than the bilsteins wouldnt they?

[Huffer]

I guess, but the bilsteins are more durable.

Hmm yeah but they already got 130k on them, my teins like new..

Bilsteins are rebuildable as well, but you live in a climate where you can run coilovers year round without any fear of degradation. So go with what's suitable for your purposes for the car. :)
