Anyone have some laying around that you don't and probably never use?
If yes, more or less how many miles and maybe a picture?

What would be your asking price shipped to Chicago 60618?

Thanks

I have both the OE springs and shocks for a ‘95 C36. I know the shocks are Bilstein and would have to check the mfg. of the OE springs. Will this fit your car? They’re boxed up in the H&R kit I replaced them with and have been sitting for 3-4 yrs. They had 101k when I removed them and were fine. My car was meticulously maintained by the 2 owners prior to me! Absolutely no city use, the prior owners kept it in WV. I wanted to track the car, so I swapped them out. I planned to list them this yr, let me know.

I’m willing to sell them to you for a fair price, but I am clueless what one should ask. Any insight from you guys would be appreciated! Also, the shipping costs. I can stop by UPS to get an exact quote to your zip if your interested. These shocks are heavy which is why everything sat in my garage for so long. I fell UPS is the best when it comes to a heavy shipment. I’m willing to ship w/ a carrier of your preference.

Cheers,

Rob

I checked online; it appears these parts are interchangeable. I can double check tom unless someone else can chime in to confirm my set will fit. I will go out in my garage in the nxt hr or two and upload a few pics for you.

I THINK the front springs won't work from what I read in a forum. I hope they are wrong. Hopefully someone that knows will helps answer.

Will you sell the rear springs and shocks if the fronts don't work? And how much for everything and how much for the rears and all 4 shocks if the fronts won't work?

Yes that is fine, please make me an offer. I’m not going to quote a cost for shipping. I would rather take everything to a carrier of your choosing and send your their quote. My only request is that they include tracking.

Cheers,

Rob

I’m more than happy to ship w/ the carrier you prefer. I do believe UPS or FedEx will quote the best price with tracking due to the weight:

Rob, I was thinking. It costs me 45-65 bucks to send my 10 pound modded air box with box and packaging within the USA.
I think I'm going to be better off buying them new. Fcpeuro has the fronts for $96.00 each and the rear for $55.00 with free shipping.
I bought some 3 years ago for $80.00 used and shipped from eBay. But now I can't seem to find anything good.

Im willing to pay $150.00 for the used parts. But the shipping will probably be more than that. If you could weigh one of the shocks and one spring each and just call whoever and see what the shipping cost will be that be great. Thanks

I’m willing to sell you all of the parts for $185 (4 - OE Springs and Shocks). I feel this is fair considering the parts were used on open roads 90-95% of their life and are in good shape.

Let me know if this works for you? There is a FedEx office close to my house and can send you their quote tom. Thanks!

Cheers.

Rob, I'm just going to pass. These would be great if I lived near you so I can just pick them up.
I might just buy them new as it makes more sense to me. Thank you though for your time ok.
