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

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.

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 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.
