Rear Bilsteins are in

Played sick from work so I can have my rear Bilsteins installed. Went to a local shop and had them do it. They showed me the old shocks. They were the original ones that were installed with the car back when they built it. Once I got my car on the road, what a major difference! Not only because the old shocks were junk but the ride is absolutly perfect. No problems with feeling every crack on the road and awesome cornering. Then again, I have the Ronal R15 wheels on.

The fronts have been replaced twice since I have owned the car. The Chevy dealer where I bought my car from told me they were changed by the first owner me being the second. I was a kid at the time so I didn't pay much to it. Although, I did replace the rear bushings at the time when I had the 24 mm sway bar installed with polygraphite. Just now, need to save up for front Bilsteins and a complete steering linkage kit from Spohn and my car will be ready for the rear end to become limited slip with disc brakes.

And I purchased the shocks from Summit. Took a while as they were back ordered. Worth the wait.
