Fortunatly for me, my wife has mine, and is not parting with them. Good luck with your in/out.

tumor or bumps on the testis are scary, hard bump? that normal unless the ultra sound says no...

they are not going to cut the ball off are they? good luck with that, z51's bilstiens are stiff but I love them,

buy a cheap seat, cut a whole where your ***** would sit. They way they could just dip into that whole and be pertected ! I went with the stock shocks from pepboys and my car rode fine ! ( Monroe I think)

Your not going to be bouncing out of the seat. So don't worry about it.

I agree with imact1968. I don't think the Bilsteins will have that much of an adverse affect. Hope everything goes well for you.

I got the 4 pack of Bilsteins for my 95 recently and am generally pleased. The car would wallow a bit at highway speeds and the new shocks cleaned that right up, but the rear does feel stiff/hard going over bumps at slow to medium speeds. I have the base/FE1 suspension.

I think I got them from either Ecklers or Corvette Central for about $300.

I bought 4 heavy duties for my 99 from parts geek. 300 for all 4. About as cheap as I could find and I like them.

I replaced the bilsteins on my 89 with new bilsteins because at higher speeds I fell some twistin, wasn't hard at all once I got started. Enjoying the rewards now.

Shockwise, I had less issues because the shocks were no longer shot and causing bounciness. I went with Bilsteins. I replaced at 50k on my 87 in 08 due to a leak in one; then realized how bad they were.

My $1200 Bilsteins didn't last very long. I guess I should have bought the cheaper ones. But replaced with KYB schocks. They work great at a fraction the price. Anyway, who looks at the name on your schocks?

slickfx3

never heard of 1200 for c4 vettes unless fx3

Yes, sounds far fetched. I am unable to locate the exact shocks, they are no longer available. Probably for good reason. But there are still some replicants available .. http://www.lingenfelter.com/mm5/merc...egory_Code=C81 ..

Some of the stuff I have used on my car is from Lingenfelter, others from all over. Over $30k. in mods. I have no wish to argue with anyone here. I am simple expressing my experience's.

how do you know you need new shocks? You mentioned some time ago you are not into wrenching!

Are getting a vasectomy? One day in & out? A tumor surgery would be a two day, you go in today, they slice and you may leave tomorrow.
