DESCRIPTION
NON-adjustable Bilstein SPORT shocks for MX5....full set of four. A good match for our Progress, Eibach Pro Kit and other lowering springs.BRIAN'S APPLICATION NOTES: No extra lowering. Rebound and Compression are EXACTLY the same on these SPORT as on the Bilstein HD. The only difference is that these are about half an inch shorter, ideal for keeping max travel with lowering springs.
Brian's Application Notes: Part Two. Get enough requests for details specs comparing these Sports to full length HD version that we will put this spec comparison here so it can be found easier later.

Bilstein B8 SPORT Shocks
I recently installed the Bilstein B8 shocks with the GWR 36 White/58 Red bump stop kit. I am currently riding on the Eibach/I.L. Motorsport 40mm Sport lowering Springs. What a significant improvement it has made in the ride quality! The ride and handling is exactly what I was looking for. The B8s have given me back additional travel that I had lost with the OEM dampers. Previously, the suspension used to hit the OEM bump stops all the time. With these shorter bumpstops and the B8s, I have not hit the bump stops a single time! The handling is sublime. Perfect combo for my daily driver. I am enjoying driving more than ever as a result of these products. I plan to swap out my EIbachs for the Progressive lowering springs based on recommendations from GWR to gain back even more travel while still maintaining a lowered profile. I've learned my lesson to save time and headaches by contacting the folks at Good-Win Racing, first, before making any purchases! The added benefit of their hands-on experience and specialized expertise is worth it's weight in gold! Let their hindsight be your foresight! Hands down, GWR is the BEST!
I bought and installed these with the progress springs, I didn't expect much from lowering the car only 1/2 inch, but I was wrong. The car corners like it's on rails and rides much smoother than the stock setup. I used the harbor freight strut spring compression tool for the fronts and a floor jack to push the rear mount into position. The biggest surprise to me was it didn't change my alignment.
I used these shocks with the Progress Tech springs for better handling and keeping a comfortable ride on the street. No way! The ride was very harsh. The shocks are not compatible with stock springs.
