So, you think these shocks still have life in them? I know the stock Monroes? are crap.
I will take that, ear to ear grin, pic. Two weeks waiting, damn.

I like the Aero Kit on any 99? My next car will most likely be a 993TT.

Sweet car and unbelievable mileage. In restrospect, I wish I had spent more money when I got mine last year and instead bought a really low mile car like yours. It's all good, though.

I like my new AJ USA pedals. Got em' put on just last week:

And then there's always the clear front turn signals instead of amber...



Enjoy. I also kept lamely looking at the few pics from the Luxury Motor's website for 3 days before I flew out to Chicago and bought mine!

I defer to Viper Bob on this issue, Dead gone and waiting for a box is what he says then that's what those Monroes are. Although I still say drive them for just a little while so you know how much better the new ones are when you get them.

Congrats on the new car!!

Time to get new shocks. I've seen a couple of 10+k dead shocks lying around Bob's place. Seriously, the suspension upgrade makes the car completely different.

When you want the aerokit, let me know. I think it may be time for a little change in how my car looks

Paradisenb,

Your car is a beauty. Love the red and cashmere combo. Congrats. I also suggest the AJ-USA pedal set and check out their three spoke (airbag) steering wheel replacement.

I have the Euro M030 springs and Bilstein HD's. Lowered the car about 7/8" all around, just enough to eliminate the SUV look and still provide adequate ground clearance. Great setup.

Congrats on a nice find. Now put some miles on that baby and enjoy!

You'll get many opinions on the shock and spring options around here. I went with Bilstein and Eibach and I am very happy. The cost is about $2,500 with an alignment.
