Thread: 90k stock Bilstein struts

Selling these for a friend of mine. They were put on by the dealer at 50k back when they still made these, and he removed then at 90k after the car was totaled. He's looking to get $200 plus shipping for the set, but I believe that he's flexible on pricing so pm me with any questions or offers! The rust is just on the surface and could easily be removed and re-painted.

What happened to the springs?

Springs were sold to a friend already. Mounts are brand new and included in the price though.

These are rebuildable correct?

These struts are working properly and don't need rebuilt yet, but to answer your question....

Technically they're rebuildable, I'm rebuilding a set currently.

That being said, they're not easily rebuildable since bilstein won't do it, and they're crimped shut, so you have to find a machine shop to machine snap ring grooves in them, tap a hole for a Schrader valve, pressurise with nitrogen, and replace bushings and o- rings if necessary, and fluid.

All that being said, I'm going to offer a rebuilding service once I get mine figured out, but that might be a while.

Haha that would be me! I partnered up with fatcatmotorsports. They'll rebuild them too, but they specialize in custom racing applications and will cost you appropriately. Still working out issues though. If I had the money I'd already be in production. Too much to spend on!

This is a really good deal either way though I'm just really trying to do a coilover setup.

Lol ya I have unfortunately they're are multiple reasons why I don't want to go that route unfortunately.

lol worth a shot! Good luck to you though! There's a set of almost brand new kyb's in the junkyard, but I don't have the motivation to take them off and sell them unless someone wants to pay good money for them.

As an update, I've finally decided to give up the lowering route so I just put my used eibach lowering springs up for sale here: http://www.grandprixforums.net/threa...41#post1485241

If you purchase both the springs and the shocks as a bundle, I'd be willing to negotiate on the price depending on the shipping costs!

bump!

Did he run stock springs or lowering?

Ran stock springs the whole time. Unfortunately he sold the stock springs to a friend already.

Springs pending*
