Bilstein shock absorbers
A few weeks ago there was a discussion about how good these Bilsteins are. Can anyone give me the part numbers as local dealer hasn't got them. I want front & rear. Thanks

Re: Bilstein shock absorbers (Col-UK)
I don't know if this will help or not, but I just put those in (and they are great). I got them from MidAmerica and they're in Ecklers, they of course have their own part numbers but maybe you can send them an email to find the manufacturer part numbers. Look at madirect.com and ecklers.com. When I get home I'll try and look at them and see if I see a part number. Good luck.

Just looked at your site http://www.vansteel.com/index.cfm?fu...t&SubGroup=601
Do you export to the UK? Quite like your GT kit, What sort of improvement can I expect?

$250 sounds good, that's about $50.00 under what I've seen most places ask for all four. What was the group purchase price?

Re: Bilstein shock absorbers (Col-UK)
Col-UK,
It may be worth looking at the Spax adjustables. I've got them on mine & it rides really well.
JAS Traction (the ZR1 & C4 people) do them. I've just had a quote of £69-99 ea for the front shocks & guess the rear would be the same.
:cheers:

Yes we ship anywhere in the world. The group purchase buy was at $230, now it back up to $250 for all 4.
The GT suspension system improves both ride and handling. The balanced sway bars give you a flat, neutral steering. You can also upgrade to a composite spring for $125.
We ship US mail for orders outside the US. It tends to be a lot cheaper and w/orders outside the US we will only charge you what it costs us.
