Default Good deal?

86 z51 shocks for my vette.
Mileage unknown but still in good condition.

47 shipped?

Is this a good deal?

I really would like z51 shocks!

Sure... Do you have an 86? Shocks can always be sent to Bilstein to be revalved or custom valved, so having an extra set handy would make that process alot easier (i.e., you won't have to have the car out of commission)...

Yep, I have an 86 too.
The thing is, it isn't with z51, so I want the z51 feel.

Just keep in mind that there's more to Z51 than just the shocks... The leaf springs play a big part in it, along with tighter steering, and some chassis reinforcements.
