Big difference with new Bilsteins! I'm working on my factory ride height right now. Have to drive it a little more an re-measure...

I so need a set of these...my '88s right rear shock is blown which makes not having LSD 10X worse.

Ken you will really like they way they make the car handle at speed.
I have them on my 88 with stock springs and the ride is terrific.

rog
just installed the new bilsteins I got from you, what a change! nice stiff ride, no nose diving in the corners or during heavy braking. they did create a few new rattles though.
thanks again

Sweet.

Good to hear about the stock springs. I have wavered because I didn't know if I had to find Sport option springs.

I plucked a set of front and rear adjustable Bilsteins from a parts car and was wondering if it is worth my time to have them rebuilt by Bilstein. Any help would be appreciated.

Time for bed said Zebedee - you beat me to it Alan 8>)


Now lets talk serious cartoons - Bill & Ben, Andy Pandy, Woodentops and on and on.
My grown kids think I am nuts when I pull up Bill & Ben on Google and say Littleweed!!!

I'll just add 'Tales of the Riverbank' - with Hammy Hamster...

Especially appropriate for Malcolm given its Canadian roots.

And on topic I have had Bilstein's all round for many years - huge upgrade!
