3rd thread concerning the Bilsteins.
Got the rears yesterday, did the fronts today. Relatively easy and straight forward EXCEPT THE THROATS CUT INTO THE TOP MOUNTING TABS WEREN'T DEEP ENOUGH, NEITHER SHOCK WOULD BOLT INTO POSITION. Look like they were cut out by a kid with a hacksaw. Had to deepen the cuts, took nearly an hour on one shock, got the other in 5 or 10 minutes (not much of a shop in my garage).
I splurged on these things based on Bilsteins reputation and the reviews I read on VMF. Nothing but good. But if this is indicative of the product they're turning out I don't have a real good fuzzy going forward.
Photos tell the story. Cautionary tale for those who follow. Cars off the road right now, so didn't get to test them, but will follow up once it's drivable again.
Get off my lawn.
