Been slowly piecing together a lift for my jeep. Ordered one shock and quadratec hooked me up with a pair. Yes, I checked, they are only sold individually. That was a free $80 in my pockets. Hells yeah!

I wish I could get Bilstein HDs or Sportlines for $80/per, I'd pass on the buy one get one free affair.

Did this include cool bilsteins like the 9100's?

OK, rereading the thread I'm with Colten. Call them up and make them pay return shipping, but give them back their shit.
-
is it just me or does 80 a pop seem cheap?

me too, I always thought Bilstein anythings were expensive

I agree wholefartedly.
-
I also agree with colt and raise you a "why do you only need one shock"? Are you building an offroad unicycle?
-
Blown or for steering damper?
-
I am getting parts as I can afford them and sticking them on a shelf until I have everything I need. I had sold something for $100 so I ordered one with the money.

So you sending the shock back?
-
Sense I need two in the end, I am going to call and see if I can pay for just the price of the shock minus shipping. Will save them having to pay to get it back and then send it to me again.

Good deal.
Their mistake but aftermarket suppliers are having a hard enough time staying in business as it is...
-
Yeah, I was also worried about warranty on them sense they have the as long as I own them warrenty. Now I will have proof of purchase for both, and I still save $20 on shipping.

Wow I didn't read the thread at all, just read the subject... Don't I feel silly now...

No shit!
I'd love to pick up a set of Bilstein Sports for the green pile of fuck, but they are significantly more than 80 a pop.
-
I had bilstein HD's on my BMW they were OK. Not sure what all the wood is about.

Sports > HDs, but all the "hype" is from the fact that Bilstein sells revalving parts to the public, and is generally helpful in such manners not to mention that they are stupid easy to convert to a fully rebuildable unit.

And their fucking shinny! Called them up, they were thankful I called and gladly excepted my money for the second shock. Time to order some fronts as soon as I get paid again and then some springs :evil: Already have a set of 33s ready to go on until I can get some 4.88s in it and some 35s.
-
Of course they were glad to take more of your money.

Good deal, sir. BTW, "accepted."
I had to ship back hydroponic equipment in the past that was accidentally sent to me and was rewarded with another free t-shirt, lighter, and a free 600w HPS bulb.

Lol... our Jeep has 35's and stock 3.07 gears. It's fucking awesome to do 30 in 2nd at 2krpm... but 5th gear is useless. It's gutless and doesn't run right so floored in 5th = losing speed.
-
Mine has 3.73s right now, but I am sure it will suck on 35s, and sense it is my daily, 4.88s it will get :D

I don't know where you guys are having problems finding bilsteins for cheap....bilstein sports for my corvette = $80/corner.

6681's for my Cummins Ram are only $75 a pop. And they ride amazing

Must be a Honda/Acura tax then. Shox.com and most other retailers get about 500 for a set of 4 Bilstein Sports or Bilsein HD shocks for the 96-00 Civic.
You can get the touring class shocks for about 80 a pop.

Well i would say it's because it isn't a universal shock like a truck or corvette uses. Now a civic or integra the spring attaches to the shock. this = custom per that app. which means more money.
Not just make something to length and slap the appropriate end on it. done.

Shit, didn't even notice the coils. Nicely done!

Haha thanks, I got it 3 weeks ago already like that. It runs like shit and gets 9mpg but it's fun. But for the price I couldn't turn it down.
