I use Bilstiens on the front and KYB gas adjusts in
the back on my 84 Westy. I think this setup reduces
porpoising effect during hard braking and the ride
handles better as well.....pot holes and cracks in the
road are a little harsh but that could be my Yokohama
356's tires which are Load range D...they are hard as
a rock, even when inflated to 45psi.
