OP Here,
I should be getting the 4 HD Bilsteins in the next day or two.
Two of the four heavy duty Bilsteins arrived yesterday. I opened the box and noticed their new look. I wonder how the brushed aluminum holds up to the elements of the road compared to the yellow painted finish.
Did Bilstein change from a steel casing to an aluminum casing? I don't know how to feel about the change. It looks nicer, but I prioritize durability over appearance. I wonder what road salt will do to the raw aluminum.
To you who have the new raw aluminum Bilsteins and drive in winter salt, how is the aluminum holding up?
I have not yet driven in such conditions but want to know what to expect.
