Review on Bilstein 24-187053 5100 Series Front Shock: Superior Suspension Upgrade for Nissan Xterra 2WD by Eric Kim

Great product, improved ride and feel. I only installed in the front, and now the back is easier, I'll install it in the back soon. I've read that many people have installed them incorrectly, so be very careful when installing. After not compressing my springs at home, I took the strut assembly to the guys for them to replace. I gave them directions and they looked at me like I was an idiot and said "I think my tech knows how to install them" so I said ok I read a lot of people get them wrong have installed. When I came back to pick them up I inspected them and they were installed incorrectly. I told the guy I told you so and even brought instructions so you guys don't screw it up and that's not right! In short, they fixed the problem. So be careful and careful when installing, use the instructions. But overall I'm very happy with the dampers. I set them to the 1 1/2" setting and that gave me 2".
