Default calling VanSteel

I think it's time to replace some items in my front suspension and was wondering if you have any deals for CF members? if not now, any in the near future?
I'm looking for
a front suspension rebuild kit - rubber
550# springs
bilstein shocks

I have a 71 SB coupe with all original suspension pieces - the ride is very nice and drives straight as an arrow, but I have 26.5" on the left side and 27.25" on the right side - and the tire to fender clearance is about 1" -
thanks for the help,
Oscar

nothing wrong with posting on the forum sense others might be looking at doing the same thing. here is a free bump to keep your post alive till he see's it and good luck with your rebuild

sorry fellas, didn't mean to FOD the message board, just seems like there has been an awful lot of folks talkin about rebuilding suspensions and I remember a thread some time ago where the man mentioned an upcoming sale - thought it might be helpful for all or thought Van might run a special if we got 5-10 interested in the same stuff.

I'll be brief and be gone

Most vendors price-match (VanSteel probably does it, too) - not sure if you can still get the Forum discount if you want them to price-match....the springs are usually $79, sometimes on sale for $59... the shocks are $250 at MidAmerica, the front rebuild kit is usually around $160....

I agree. The post time was after 6pm, Van Steel is closed, but Dan might read this before then and reply. He posts here often and read offers advice. Other people will see the deal and perhaps it will generate more interest for parts from a supporting vendor.

I see nothing wrong with the post.

My T-arms are there right now and I am going to need to move to the front as soon as I get them installed so I would be interested!

I don't know how many times this has come up but the Bilsteinds ARE NOT the same as what I sell. They are the HD and I sell the Sports. Can't match price on that. I can price match on the springs as well.

Excellent! I think I have that much in the piggy bank right now. If not, since my son got me into this money pit, I'll have him sell a few pints of blood.
