Re: WTB Bilsteins

I do have a set in the car. I have been thinking of putting the stock struts back in, since I don't auto-x the car anymore. I would sell the front struts for the right price.

Got the rears. Lost the top bushings but they are in nice shape. Function perfectly. $40 plus shipping. They are the factory units but they worked fine in my lowered car.

Re: WTB Bilsteins

no, they came with deflected something valving. which were only on the WS6 package. the base model got garabge struts.

The front bilsteins are becoming hard to get. no one carries them anymore. also, mine are valved for auto-x. I sent them back to Bilstein for custom work.

I need $400 for the pair.

Re: WTB Bilsteins

bilsteins i believe were standard on iroc's rear suspension. unsure about the front. im sure that goes hand in hand with gta's as well. i know my iroc has yellow bilsteins, and are the originals from the factory.
