Saleen does use the Bilsteins but I think they are valved a little different Brian. I have the Sport handling setup on my 95gt and they are great. This is with a coil over setup also. The car will see some road race/auto cross events.

Bilstein offers many different valving to match different spring rates. It is important that they match. Otherwise one or the other will do most of the work. Well it’s kind of like that. I’m no expert.

I noticed you already have Steeda Sport Springs. Maybe you should call Steeda and ask them what Bilsteins to get. Be prepared they’ll probably try and get you to buy some Tokicos from them. I think Bilstein is a better quality product, but that’s just my opinion.
