Potential Bilstein purchase quick ?

[ekin95]

I just want to be sure before I buy a set. Are these the ones most people purchase when buying Bilsteins? They wil be for an 04 so I assume these wil fit as every other ad on the net I have seen Bilsteins fit 91-05. Just want to get these to set on the lower perch to lower the car a bit. Running an 18/19 setup so not dropping it too far ad I have these are the best to do that.

I have looked on the net and they all seemd the same but EBat has better prices w/ free s/h. Just want to be 100% correct. Thanks for any help. :smile:

Yep, those are the ones. But NOPI probably has better pricing...

I just had Zahntech install my Bilsteins 1 month ago, I love the way it rides and accelerates. I will be tracking the car for the first time at proformance racing march 3. It is a all day class. I was told since I like to take mine on long drives, that the Bilsteins will still give a cush ride, and allow you to track it every once and awhile with great sensitivity to the track. Not to mention once it was lowered my 18-225-35 stopped rubbing on the front.

Just received my Bilsteins today from NOPI @ $480 shipped.

How do you order from Nopi? I cannot seem to find them on their website. Thanks for the replies.

You can read this thread or call Alan @ Nopi at 1.800.277.6674 x266 if you are too lazy to read it :tongue:

John,

What did Zahntech charge you? My wife wants to head back to seattle in the spring when we pick up the car from my brothers, so I thought I might get zahntech to install them while we are there. Do you have the exact part numbers for the bilsteins? I figured I could order them ahead of time and take them with me.

Folks, to get the maximum benefit of the Bilsteins, especially if you have an NSX-T, and you also plan to track it even occasionally, I strongly recommend you upgrade the OEM sway bars. You can start with a street/track sway bar upgrade and you will love the feel of the steering wheel tightening and less body lean.

Tim,
Looks like you are beating me to the punch on ordering your Bilsteins.:biggrin:
Are we still gonna have a Bilstein install party this spring? I guess I should get to ordering mine soon.
$480 shipped is a steal!

Going to give Alan at Nopi a call tomorrow. If I can get 2 sets let me know if you want one. You can jst pay me when they come in.:wink: If I can get them for $480 shipped I am going to do it. Let me know............

Just talked w/ Alan @ Nopi and they should be here by the end of the week. Thanks again for the help. :smile:

What springs are you guys all going with + Bilsteins? Stock on the lower perch?

 

[ekin95]

Stock on the lower perch?

That is what we are going to run and I think most people do the same.

 

[Jim]

I ordered mine on the 18th and received them on the 22nd. It gets drop shipped directly from Bilstein so it's pretty quick.

 

[Big_D]

I am trying to decide if I want Bilsteins or spend more $$$ and get JIC Coilovers. Decisions Decisions.

 

[Hard2find]

wow! thats a great price.


im still debating if i should go for bilstein or koni with my H&R.


right now im on stock struts and my car is slammed (i wanna raise it .25" )

 

[KooLaid]

If you wanna raise, right off the bat you need to get rid of the H&R you got now.

Installation?. When installing the Bilsteins any special tool needed? Do you need to depress the stock springs? Just making sure. I have got pictures of them on the lower perch but just making sure I am not missing anything. Thanks.

*Edit..Just got the Bilsteins today. I assume when you get them they are at "stock height" so to speak. I take it I have to take the yellow snap ring and move it into the lower groove "perch" so when installed the car rides lower.
