Tbone, I'll take them I'm actually in San Luis Obispo. Can you quote me on shipped? Danke

James, PM me foo! come on! now!

edit: Tbone, do you know where TWS is? It's in Walnut off the 60fwy. Any chance that you could drop them off there? I will have my car done over there when i get all the parts, so that would facilitate my task Or maybe I can meet you somewhere on my way to there.

Check out the Vogtland spring kits as well!
The H&R/Bilstein combination will yield a fairly firm suspension. A tad bit harsh on the rougher city roads. If you're looking for something with a bit more comfort, more like the stock setup, I'd much prefer to recommend the KONI shocks.

Email if you have any questions.

I agree with you about the Koni's. I love having the abilty to be able to adjust the shock. You can set it to race, middle or butter. I have the fronts set to butter for more bite and the rear in the middle for more oversteer. The Bils are too stiff for my taste. Also you can lower it more by using different spring pads.

T-bone, can you actually figure out how much it is to ship to me? I may hold off on the install until I get my rims. I might as well do all at once. Let me know. ty.
