After having two sets of bad OEM rear shocks sent...

from two different sources (one set twice as much as the other), I had some Bilsteins installed. I wanted to get the OEMs to match up with the OEM S-Line front struts, but my shop had the Bilsteins in stock - so I got 'em.

Is it really going to make that much of a difference having the S-lines fronts with the Bilstein rears? How will I know the difference anyway? TIA.

Vince.

why not go with bilstein fronts too?

i'd guess that the car will feel different, but i don't know if it will be 'different' in a good way, as you have questionable dampers in front.

I don't think it will make that much difference...

Did you get the Bilstein HD's or the Bilstein Sports? I don't know stiff the S-line shocks are, but the Bilstein Sports are pretty stiff FWIR. I went with the Bilstein HD's all around.
