I recently asked if Bilstiens were worth the 75 dollars a piece and everyone said YES, without a doubt.

So I bought new front shocks.

The Mid-America RCSI shocks are quite good for the price. The fronts are a PITA to install but, the adjustable feature is very nice.

Bilstiens

P.S. If you are going to toss your old shocks let me know, I might have a use for them
