Looks great! You've got me sold. Any recommendation on a good set of shocks to go with these H&R's? If I get this particular set of springs, I'm gonna go ahead and change the shocks/struts out because my SHO has 82k miles on it and it's time. Bilstein seems to have several options, but I'm lost on which set will work best with the vehicle sitting 1.4/1.5" lower.There's several threads already on this topic have you searched or looked around on this forum yet?
But anyway, they're frickin awesome!!!

I have been watching this thread and doing the Google search looking for a good set of shcks/struts myself, I was wondering if you ever decided what shocks/struts you where going to use and if you spoke with anyone who had any input. Thanks in advance, have a great day.

Nothing definitive yet. My plan is to contact Livernois and see if they can recommend a good strut/shock combo to go with their 1.4/1.5" lowering springs.

Pretty much everyone is still using the stock shocks and struts. Some on EBPF tried KYB rear shocks and they gave out in less than a week. Went back to the stock shocks and everything is fine.

You would think someone who make at the very least a really good OE replacement shock, I guess we will always be a white elephant.

How long should the original shocks last? I have H&R springs on my 2011 with 115,000 miles and have not replaced the shocks yet. Is there some way to determine when to replace or test that can be performed to see if they are worn out? Thanks

I'm planning to upgrade to Bilstein shocks and pair it with H&R springs. Is it true that terms of daily driveability, I've been told the sports shocks is the way to go. Any other feedback about it?

Didnt know Bilstein made anything for our cars. Remember someone trying KYB's and kept blowing out rear shocks with his H&R's.
My SHO has the Performance Pkg so I believe it has upgraded sport shocks factory so I didn't mess with the shocks and installed H&R about 2 years ago and not one issue! Drive my car daily and rides great!

Just installed mine today. So far there great. Just a tad stiffer than stock and the lowered look looks great. I'll post some pics
