I believe the "fix" Arnott made to the Bilsteins involves only an o-ring and modification to their aluminum adapter for the shock. There is no change to the shock's damping effect. That is, there is no change in ride quality.

mike b you have no clunk at all with the gen 2 and the "fixed" bilsteins?
i just installed the "fixed" ones and still have a little noise i didnt have with the stock stuff. i have also installed all new control arms, inner and outer tie rod ends and swaybar links while trying to fix the clunk in the first place.

WOW! That's a lot of work you've done there. and a lot of money as well.

Certainly, I also think that such modification would not improve ride quality...
In the past, Bilstein Japan changed a characteristic of damping for some special products on request. In fact, the ride got better after change. However, it is very unlikely that they would offer similar service in this case...

For example "i prefer stiffer setting" or "need enough damping stroke"...etc
i think they definitely don't ignore our driving impression.

Time to replace my passenger , front bag ( supposedly ) keeps " falling " well ........ when I walk in the garage the following morning , I see the passenger front slabbed , I turn on car ......see the level 1 & 2 green lights ( I ride on level 2 ) blinking along W/ the green light lit on the " car up " button WITH the orange suspension car on dash blinking . It goes through the process of raising the car ( about 2 min ) than all lights off & back to " normal " W/ only level 1 & 2 lights lit . After that everything fine , tho it's getting old 'till I get the funds to get this fixed .
