Default Bilstein autocross

I have a 79 Vette and I want to put Bilstein sports on it. Eklers has a set of rear only autocross shocks, anyone have these? Car will be street driven and sometimes driven hard. Any thoughts?

Sorry Al, no help here. I'm running Koni Doubles. I don't know of any C3's with the Bilsteins, not that they're not good, just that I don't know of any.

I don't know of any running the bilsteins either. I run the KYB gas-a-just on all four corners for autocrossing on my 73 and 76. My cars are quite stiff and have a harsh ride. The 420+lb spring in back and 550lb springs in the front might have something to do with that too.
