If any of you know someone looking for a spare set of VIII wheels please point them in my direction. They're not in the greastest shape, but will be priced accordingly.



And happy friday, bishes!

Due to a last minute cancellation I have one open student spot for the 26th. If anyone knows of someone who wanted to get in but couldn't have them email me at alwaysinboost@msn.com would prefer to fill with another EVO.

Here is link to Bilstein West Service:
http://www.bilsteinus.com/products/s...e/service.html

At bottom of page there is a PDF download of the service sheet you need to fill out and put in box with shocks. Their ship to address is at bottom of form.

If I were you I would just get all shocks and struts revalved to whatever springs you are driving. I put in the comments I wanted to try and rid the car of understeer and like when a car steps out controllably on-throttle.
thanks, I was going to have them do my rear struts also but its abput the same price to get new hd's and from what I have been told they are almost a perfect match to the gtworx but then again im a nubie

Revalved MR Bilsteins are better than new HD Bilsteins. Revalved for your spring set, car usage and driving style makes more sense. Besides the fact Andrew from GT Worx told me to do that. It is $75 per strut, $65 per shock. I shipped to California by Fedex, it was $70 insured one way. So total cost is approx. $420 total without any additional parts needed. Do it this way, makes sense.
I must give AIB credit, he steered me toward GT Worx set up in the beginning of this process. I found used MY Bilsteins on Ebay for $480 shipped. Swift Spec R springs were $315 shipped, so I spent $1215 for my set up, $800 more than I originally planned, YAY!

A long time ago. I sold (1) strut and the rear shocks, somehow I damaged the one strut. I have no recollection how, it was not an accident though.
