    Default Bilstein 5150 vs 5160

    Are the 5160 series worth the extra money? Shocks are going on my 92 toyota in the front and rear. All stock except for a 63" chevy leaf conversion. Truck is my DD, but i chase around my buddies prerunner in ocotillo. Thanks

    Yes, 5160 has application specific valving with a bitchin swivel hose and remote reservoir that can be rebuilt using 7100 series parts.

    The 5150 is non rebuildable with a small affixed reservoir and generic valving.
    Emulsion shocks are like cooking steak in the microwave.

    Ok thanks. How good are the 7100s?
