Is anyone using Biltstein shocks on their 120 series?

And are the shocks different for 120 series using the D4D 1KD vs the older 1KZ engines?New KZJ120 Owner -

How Bilsteins all round on my 2004 120 series. Thing handled like a 'boat', actually thought it was dangerous. Got rid of em and fitted Koni's. VASTLY better, IMO.Originally posted by sweeks View PostComment

Serious? They're highly rated in the US an an oem replacement for the RX350s.Originally posted by JohnCW View PostNew KZJ120 OwnerComment

I wouldn't have written what I did if I wasn't serious. I've heard the Australian distributor gets what is sold in Australia made up to his specs, so if this is correct, any comparison to overseas performance is pointless.Originally posted by sweeks View Post
The Bilsteins I had fitted by the Australia distributor, at their site near Sydney Airport, did give a beautiful soft ride, because they had next to no compression or rebound damping. You may as well have taken the shock off and had none, such was the ride. I've seen a number of other reports from people who felt exactly the same way about them, so what I'm saying is nothing unique.
You did ask for opinions, feel free to ignore mine.Comment

Heasman's? I wouldn't trust those guys at all.Originally posted by JohnCW View Post
Bilstein make excellent shocks (better quality than Koni by far), but as always, it depends which ones you select and how they are matched to the springs and other vehicle attributes.

Run multiple sets of Bilsteins on Prado's, no issue, good handling and ride quality. Certainly nothing like what someone else has said they encountered.Comment
