Don't Bilstein struts from Bilstein have a lifetime warranty?

I understand that, my question is that aren't Bilsteins sold by Bilstein guaranteed for life?

It seems like the B12 would be the better purchase as it comes with the same Eibach springs paired to a Bilstein strut, but is guaranteed for life.

Subscribed. I've got the full kit on my spring mod hit list for my base 128(no sport); at under $1K seems like a great deal; I was concerned with the shocks quality but seeing the Bilstein logo puts me at ease.

Thanks for sharing!

nice....i just purchased this same set up and was looking for feedback. thanks for the info. would like to hear how they feel after you get an alignment. BTW if you don't mind me asking how much you picked up your complete kit for and where? I didn't notice if you mentioned it above but if you did apologies and thanks and in advance.

You kind of want some rack, at least 0.5", IMO.

Personally, I set my car up for 0.75" rack
