[QUOTE="teejay, post: 104337, member: 51"] bilstein has 2 types of design monotubes and twin tubes monotubes has a damper inside the strut, i believe Titan had the same, the twin is a conventional design, but bilstein madeseveral advancement, so mostly in the market its the twin tube design think very likely the E30s got the twintube design because of the size of the struts, looking further, the bumpstop does correspond to the design of the absorbers and not the springs if the titans were not matched for the 4 pots weight, you may have had a higher rebound rate compared to the lower dmapening ratess, making the mismatch either too soft, or too harsh, basically the bumpstop did take some of the shock, but the overall rates may not be matched proper making the handling off......
