Today I put in Bilstein HD shocks and PBR Metal Master pads all around.

On the Bilsteins: I've only taken a short drive, but I really like the feel of the Bilsteins over the OE Boges. It gives the car the "classic Bilstein" feel. More isolated from small bumps and smoother, yet more responsive and precise. Compared to the OE Boges, bumps are "processed" much quicker. The Boge's gave more of a "crashing", drawn out feel. With the Bilsteins, the bumps are quickly absorbed and controlled. Some people say the Bilsteins are too firm, but so far I like it.

On the PBR MMs: I couldn't take the OE pads any more with all the dust. In fact when I took the OE pads out they showed some signs of crumbling in places. On my quick ride, the PBR MMs were quiet with good feel (once I seasoned them).

I'll post again once I've driven around a bit to give some updated impressions. I'll also be bringing the car in for an alignment check this week after all this work.
