Hi! I'm planning on replacing my front and rear calmini shocks in my 3-inch calmini suspension with either OME or Bilstein.   Just a few questions:

1.  Anyone with experience on Bilstein shock? Do they ride very firm on-road or are they as comfortable as OMEs?

2. I understand OME front struts are have a longer strut travel thank stock.  Would installing them on the 3-inch calmini suspension kit cause any CV problems on full extension?

3.  How does the OME rear shock length compare with the rear calmini shock?  Do they have the same lengths on full extension? Can I use the OME as a direct replacement for the rear calmini or are the calmini shocks longer than stock to start with?

Thanks in advance for all your replies.
