Default DRM Bilstein Group Buy v7.0 (It's back)

Hello ladies and Gentlemen,
The DRM Bilstein's Group Buy is back in action.

1st, The order has been placed (8-1-2014)
2nd, Bilstein has put a build date of 11-14-14 on them (we have seen delays in the past)

Here is the history of the product.
DRM took a set of standard Bilstein sport shocks and installed them into a C6Z. We found them to be a improvement but felt the car needed something better. Using our years of racing and street driving experience on Bilstein shocks and started working on the valving. Our goal was to have a shock that

1.Increased feel for the driver
2.Rid all unsettling feelings in the car over bumps
3.Offer a better ride
4.Increase mechanical grip
5.Keep the back end of the car planted!



We also offer a Bushing up-grade, that has raised questions. The bushings are made out of a harder poly material to allow less bushing deflection and longer bushing life. There isn’t much of any drawbacks to running the bushings. Besides some added feel of the road and allowing the shocks to work better. The cost on the bushings is 25 dollars.

So here is the deal on the group buy v6.0.
50 dollars down and 400 dollars at the time of delivery. We will send a email with a link to pay the balance. Total $450.00 shipped to the lower 48 states.

You can also call in your order to our sales office. International shipping is not a problem (extra fees will apply)

Thanks

Do these include new bump stops? My car was WAY too low when I bought it, and mine are nuked.

No noise or added ride harshness from bushing?

I have some revalved C4 shocks, we had a couple different valving for applications. Street, autox, coilover, race and etc.

C5 guys we suggest these shocks.

I've been super happy with my stock C5 Z06 shocks for autocross. Are these Bilsteins shorter then stock when fully compressed? Front and rear. In what way are they better for me?
thanks,
Steve
