Opinions on Bilstein Damptronic "comfort or regular"

I may be pulling off my Moton Clubsports with quick disconnects and moving to this system. For those who have it, did you got with :

49-135817 "Komfort"

or

49-135985 "regular/sport"

It seems like the later is a little more expensive.

Thanks,

Tom

After reading around I went with the Sport version 49-135985. Price difference was 130usd between the two.

The "Sport" version is definitely not hard so the "komfort" version must be like driving in a Rolls Royce.

I am happy with my choice. Also a member here wrote a good review too which helped me with my overall decision along with recommendations from another member.

I use the sport Bilsteins and it can be a pretty stiff ride at times, but I also have all ERP arms on my car and no rubber bushings really.

I run the "regular/sport" ones with the TPC module and upgraded sway bars, my feeling is: nice but could be even stiffer, so imho go to the sport ones, not comfort.

Sport!

Sport is what I have and it's what I recommend. Even the "Sport" one is fairly soft compared to stock GT3/GT2.
