Default Looking for used Bilstein shocks

I am looking for a set of four used Bilsteins that I can send in to have rebuilt. I don't want to have my car down for how ever long it takes to rebuild the shocks that are on it.

I would be interested in buying your shocks outright or work some sort of swap for mine once they are off the car, or some other deal.

I talked to Mark Benton and he did not have any and neither did 928Intl.

Someone please take pity on me.

My car is an 82.

Thanks Thom

Just a fyi, the rebuild is very reasonable, but has no warranty. A new set is lifetime warranty.

ThomO are Bilsteins stock on an 82? I believe I may have a set on a car. The car had 70k miles but I'm sure you would probably have to rebuild them anyway.

If your 82 had the competition package it came with Bilsteins or at least mine did.

What color are the shocks Bilsteins are green?

I've got a set of old Bilstiens I removed from my 85 Euro, located in Las Vegas.

Can send pics if you're interested.
