Bilstein struts with gt500 top hats

Anyone running this set up on a 11-14 gt, I've seen a lot reference to koni's and the t500 mounts but not the bilstein struts.https://themustangsource.com/forums/...lies/dunno.gif

Question? If you are wondering if they will work, yes if they are the correct design ie. 05-10.

+1 with Brandon. Vorschlag is offering GT500 mounts with Bilstein shocks as well for 11-14s.

thanks, ill check the vorshlag site, I was hoping that someone who is running this set up would chime in, but its probably an unusual combo.

Unusual because Bilsteins are so much more expensive than Koni's, they will work just the same.

I am running Bilstein B6's, Eibach Pro-Kit, J&M Panhard Bar, and GT500 Strut Mounts for about a year and half. The ride slightly stiffer then stock but not to the point of being harsh. The camber is within spec with this set up and no excessive tire wear.

Thanks Cali, I have heard that the Bilsteins are slightly stiffer than stock.

Brandon, totally agree that bilsteins are pricier, but disagree they are the same as Koni's, two different designs, but they do the same thing. Both will work.

One is none adjustable and the other is, that is the only difference otherwise you would have to buy CC plates etc specifically made for them.
