Default Bilsteins just up front??
Not sure if this is a good idea or bad. But can you just install bilstein 5100's in the front and leave the back end stock? if you can how safe would it be? And has it been done before?

Nothing wrong with it. They are just shocks. Just so the backs are good it will be fine. All 4 bilsteins will make it ride better tho.

oh no they ride much better...i was talking about the adding stuff to the rear if you get the front bilsteins...you can just get the front leveled and not worry about the back. sorry for the confusion.

I would get them tho. I put on just rears and it makes a huge difference.

Need to find the time to do the fronts.
