My 2 cents, Edelbrock. Aren't Bilsteins guarantied for life and can be rebuilt for free? I still have my old set of Bilsteins and there is a small Bilstein factory/warehouse a few miles from my house.

I'll send you a brandnew set of KYB cheap. PM me if interested. I never used them.

The warranty offered by the better shock mfgrs will cost more than buying a new set. Plus the shop rebuilding these is real slow returning your order. And we are almost at the point that only rebuilds will be available. So the KYB alternative looks real good to the cruzers/waxers.

I'm holding on to my old Koni's. For now the Bilstein Sports ride just nice for some spirited driving.
