I put the stop plate wrong. Very stupid of me! What happens is the shock gets tightened and the torsion created when I turned fully snapped it. So do I replace it or buy new stuff? Takes me probably two hours to fix it. $650.00 for one replacement. I feel so stupid, going to have several drinks with the wife to forget about it!

What happened?
Edit, just saw your post. I'd probably just replace the single unit.

Well, you now get to choose between spending $650 for what amounts to be a Porsche branded B6 or spending $450x4 on Bilstein Branded B8's.

Not sure how many miles you have, but maybe you can view it as preventative maintenance? Trying to be a sunshine pumper here... If it makes you feel any better I think you should do it so you can tell us how much you like them

I did the rotors, breaks, pads and springs in February. Car feels great so kind of thinking just replace the unit I busted. Going to look into the B8's. I promised myself no more mods!
