I agree that there is no real need for HD bilsteins.

I have new ipd overload springs but the car is set `only` with new standard touring bilsteins and it is running awesome and feels really really great to drive

it is a wagon and it can tow without much sag and runs just perfect with 2tons behind it.

If I had hd bilsteins I think my dental bills would spike up pretty soon.

My car can already rattle enough so no thanks no hd shocks here.
I have matching new tires and not overinflated but still it has some feelable stiffness, which, I would never exchange to even worse (by adding hd shocks).

It`s my idea and I`m sure every car is a little dirfferent.
My wagon is very happy on 4 bilstein tourings, front and back ipd 25mm bars, rear overload ipd springs.

I also had thrown out the volvo spacer shims in the rear and replaced them with thicker spacers to help lift the butt of the wagon up. Looks and rides fantastic!

I dont even know what hd shocks are for but I understand some tow heavy stuff and haul serious weight.
