Default FS: Lightly used Bilstein Escort Cup struts/shocks

I bought these from Skip not too long ago. I never installed the front struts and just used the rears as rollers. Car has never ran since I installed them. I will be going with a completely different set of shocks that are a bit more hard core.

EDIT: These are Escort Cups.

I bought them from the following FS thread.

https://rennlist.com/forums/944-turb...car-parts.html

As with his thread, these do not come with the camber plates or top mounts on the struts. he had sold those separate. Asking $1200 shipped. They are truly nice pieces with very little use. 550# fr and 750# rear springs

I've been a bit busy lately and have been slow to ship. But I will pack these back up tomorrow and get them ready for immediate shipment. I only have to re pack the rears since I never really unpacked the fronts.

Thanks for looking,

Bruce.

Jokes on me. The shop is under construction, (again) and everything is a mess. I won't be able to get them packed until this weekend.

LOL no. I kept them for quite a while thinking I might use them. It's now clear I won't, so I can use that money on the intake and Throttle body.

It's just that this new shop is really being more of a difficulty than I ever imagined. Its a fairly new and growing shop, so most of the tools I'm used to using on my free time are almost never free, and every other month, there's some construction or electrical revamp, or air line problem, or ...... etc. etc. etc. SO.. I will probably finish shipping these last three Torsion bar deletes and not be able to make more for quite a while- if ever again. Not to mention any time or space to work on my car, Which has been close to never for months now.

Anyway! These are pretty clean examples though. Nicer than most that I have seen for sale in the past year. Hopefully someone will get to enjoy these this spring or summer rather than collecting dust in a box.

Default Escort Cup for Sale

Do you know the valve rating of the Struts? and are you open to reasonable offers?

Brit, I am certainly open to offers. I will check with Skip Wolfe to confirm valving before I state it.

Skip just confirmed that they are indeed a match for those spring rates.

Hey Bruce, this is Drew.

How much would you sell them if I pick them up from you? I'm getting my car running again while the Lotus is in the shop (someone ran into me) and my suspension is in great need of updating.

OMG Drew. Why didn't you call me? I just got on here to say that I sold them.

Apologies.

This item is sold.
Thank you all,

Bruce.
