I was talking about the shocks...they look like the yellow Bilstein's that I got removed from my car last year and replaced with KYB's.

The newer style Delco DeCarbon's are yellow as well but those really do look like Bilsteins. What diameter is that sway bar?

Nothing is wrong with Bilstein's. They're one of the best you can get. I think the sway bar you have on your car allready is bigger than 1 1/8.

So with those Bilsteins shocks do they make the rear end drop faster so I get a better weight transfer at take off's??

Errrrrr, no. Bilstein's are more of a "handling" shock. They will probably be stiffer but smoother than the stock shocks. They are self adjusting and have life time warrenties.

Yup, sorry...I didn't mean to say there was anything wrong with them. Bilstein are just as good if not better than Koni's. That's why I commented in the first place...good score!
