I finally ordered shocks for my car...
It took forever to make up my mind, but I finally ordered new shocks for my C43. I decided on the Koni Externally Adjustables. Can't wait to get them because my stock ones aren't doing so well...

well, I put them on today.
I can't believe I waited so long...These shocks are sooooo much better than the stock bilstiens. The stockers felt harsh at times, but the Koni, even at full stiff, are much smoother.
oh, it only takes 5 minutes to change the settings on all 4 shocks and that includes moving the truck liner out of the way.
For those that don't have Koni's, you are missing out on a great ride.
I give them

Kwik,
Where did you purchase the Bilstein shocks and how much? Who did the install?
Teck,
Nice C43s. I wish I could get me one of those C43T (wagon) here in the states.

I purchased the new Koni Externally adjustables, not the bilsteins. I got the Koni at purems.com for $509.

I did the install myself...

but it's just a C230 K with some engine mods. But we're on the search for a C43 wagon.
