Bilstein Shocks

Anyone put Bilstein Shocks on the front of their E350? Did you notice any improvement in the van nose diving in to corners while on the brakes? Firmer ride? I tried looking around the internet for someone who carries them for the E350 but apparently the E350 is not quite popular enough yet...

I put 4 new Bilstein shocks on my 2002 E350. (~$320)

I noticed that the ride is firmer (better) and the steering is better.

Definitely worth the money.

They sell Bilsteins. Not just the OE type but the heavy duty replacement type. I also know the owener at StranoParts and he is a good guy to do business with.

That said, I have KYB shocks on my van and love them.
