Just as an FYI for anyone who may have been interested in the sets of 4 Bilstein shocks for sale on Ebay... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33590&item=2458365771 These are the "touring class" bilsteins, as opposed to the HD ones recommended for the vanagon. I've no experience w/how they handle in comparison to the HD's, but I made a quick call to tech service at Bilstein, and they guy told me that the life expectation of the new touring class line is about 50k miles. He said the HD's were expected to go atleast 100k, if not more. YMMV ;-) -james '83.5 country homes _________________________________________________________________ Get a FREE online virus check for your PC here, from McAfee. http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963 |
