2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission bilstein install

[nieters]

the rears are a breeze. two 21mm wrenches or sockets and the backs are off.

the front passenger side was a breeze as well. but the drivers side is fun. big hands and tight areas suck. if i had to do it again, now knowing what i know, i would say 2 hours for all four. add one hour for pee break, beverage break, and a bs break. good times.

So how is the ride now, and where did you find the best deal. I have been ready to dump these adjustable rancho crap for a couple months now.

orw. they have a deal for tdr members. 231+ shipping. the ride is a improvement. have not had a lot of ride time too tell. but the ride to work was cool.

I paid 239 shipped this spring from ORW. I love my Bilsteins, the ride is stiffer than stock but way more solid on bumps.

Sounds about right. I did mine a couple years back... ended up using 18" extension (IIRC) to tighten up the top bolt on the left side. I had pulled the front wheels off too, though, which freed up quite a bit of room. I did them the same time I did my front springs.
