Being a Rev3 N/A I'm presuming they will be the rebuildable units. Certainly not the black Bilsteins.

I'm looking for a nice balance of ride comfort vs B road handling. Just in the experimental stages at the minute. I would of liked to try the factory billies first to get a baseline as, whilst I've never rated standard shocks, a brand new set of standards with some springs and some clever geometry can yield some interesting results.

I went through the same process with the Supra and I ended up with some custom valved Bilsteins but that was a heavy old bus and completely different beast on the twisties. I don't feel the need for it on the MR2 from my time with mine. Think I'll try some inserts first.
