[W126 Coupe] Bilstein suspension kit

[David G. Cole]

Jono,

Interesting, because I have H&R's w/ Bilsteins on one SEC and the complete 
AMG suspension on the Widebody. They feel night and day different. 

The AMG, to me, feels both more taught while driving hard yet more forgiving to 
road imperfections, expansion strips, in normal driving as compared to the H&R 
and Bilstein setup; granted, these Bilsteins are not AMG valved.

    Has anyone used Bilstein B12 suspension kit on their sec? Are these for 
    Euro models only? Are they the same as buying the bilstein shocks and 
    H&R springs separately? 
    
    thanks

H&R uses the same coil thickness/# of coils per inch as the AMG spring. Why 
should H&R re-invent the wheel, no?

Thus coupe H&R's w/ AMG spec bilsteins and you have the same setup AMG 
was turning out.
