Right now, the fronts are at their lowest point and I'm sure I'll have to raise it up b/f I get an alignment done.
Ok thanks, it kind of surprised me because I thought I read a while back you could no longer get those shocks. Good to know.

They were Germany only, none in US. Took a while to get them. PDX was too expensive...

Sorry, it's express service to get parts in Germany here quickly instead of waiting for stock order that could take a month or longer. Cost like 20% of part price if memory serves. There might be a max cost, don't remember.

Made by the same company that made the cosmoline... Scrape or wire brush as much as possible then hit it with this stuff and it literally wipes off. I did use scuff pads tho.

Pulled the injectors out of Lagoon to send off to Witchhunter Injector service.

I will post the before and after flow charts from these guys. Cost is $22 per injector and you get a complete before and after flow analysis. With shipping and all should be about $100 and the reports are great.
