they do look dirty...
but prior to taking them off, i clocked 2:02 at TH with stock gt3 on mpsc. that's pretty decent time for thunderhill. so the shox should be in good shape.

at the price. the new owner can hose them clean ;-)

I don't know why these are so hard to sell, it's a great set up. I had a set on eBay for several months at $650, didn't ever get a single bid...

Oh you're always entertaining to read...

I fully agree with you, it is an outstanding set up and not easily replicated. It's also nice that Bilstein will rebuild and custom valve them if you want for something like $175 per pair of shocks.
Good luck w/the sale.

I don't think I've ever run across Dell actually. That's just fine, if I'm driving something fast it usually doesn't belong to me. If I'm driving mine, it's on street tires, always slower than the "fast" people save for street tire classed time trials. One day I'll learn to love blowing money on tires, one day...

Anyway, there's something to be said for changing and customizing stuff, I'm sure your car feels sharper than a stock GT3, with your wallet being so much lighter and all. I kid I kid.

I trust my jewish friend about what good matzo ball soup should taste like. Just the same, I would take John's word for it when he says stock GT3 coilovers are a cheaper and better solution to other aftermarket options. +1 for a very fair price.

When you start posting late at night your memory gets severely flawed!

Mine we not re-VAVLED they were re-PLACED

And yes, I dropped my car off with the race shop to consider re-valve and came out with a $20K+ bill as well. You wouldn't happen to know who influenced that decision now would you???

You guys are nuts!

Dell, are you doing CMP in two weeks, or in September? - both with PCA.
