Brett,

I think so.
I had KYB's for 5 years and the ride was always rough. The stock gave a
softer ride.
The Bilsteins ended the porpoising effect I had and the comfort and
stability has improved.

Thje KYB's in front were depleted of gas in 5 years.
I won't be going back to them again.

How much an improvement over stock do the Bilstein shocks make on the 2WD
Vanagon?  Are they worth the money?
Thanks in advance,
