Also - I plan on swapping out these shocks/inserts on my own. This will be my biggest p-car project so far, so I'll be leaning on you guys for sure. I've got my Bentley manual ready and I'm starting to research all the tools I'll need...

thanks in advance --

Do you have stock torsion bars on the car?

I have stiffest Bilstein shocks, struts and the stiffest bilstein springs. The springs are the lower Euro spec. Also a stabilizer in the frunk. Car handles like a champ and I also have a S w/ SPASM to compare!

Remember to specify you want the bilstein inserts for the boge struts. I switched out the boge original shocks with bilstein hds all around The large rubber bumper in the front gets switched to a small rubber washer at the top of the shock. It comes with the new shock. Check your brake pads and lines too while you're there.
