Ben if the price is right I will probally be interested in a set that was made for the Boxey style 9c1 Caprices.
Still running the original decarbons on the Impala ss from 3-95. Bilstein Shocks This is the last place that I bought my Bilsteins 4 years ago for my 9c1. I believe our National club  .Has a deal with this wholesale company in California. This post has been edited by Heavy Chevy 95: Jul 4 2005, 08:05 AM |

QUOTE(Jim Moulton @ Mar 18 2004, 06:19 PM) John, I don't think you will EVER have to replace the shocks on your Garage Queen....  Around the summer of 97, I blew out one of the orange factory decarbon shocks  at 25,000 miles.Oil spot on the garage floor gave it away. Chevy dealer charged GM around $130.00 for this one shock  .Which was installed for free under the new car factory warranty. This post has been edited by Heavy Chevy 95: Jul 4 2005, 08:07 AM |

Will these work with my Hotchkis springs...being that the car is lowered? Would they be compressed, and not be right?

That's great and I am glad there is some interest. I will call www.shox.com's 1-800 number and try to set something up for the GP.
As far as the pictures John, I hope to have something around May or June!    The chevelle just got a new clutch put in it  ...again. Too long of a story to tell but basically I won the battle of a long disagreement with my dad about clutch adjustment  ...hence the new clutch!   Will let everyone know what I find out from shox.com's people for helping us out with a GP. If there is any more interest please add to the thread. |

My understanding w. Bilsteins are that if your car is dropped then the Sport package is the way to go....if it as factory suspension then go w. HD....
here is a link that kinda explains the difference http://www.allshocks.com/bilstein/html/sho...='1994' |

Too bad, I just purchased mine or else I would have gotten in on this deal.
FYI: I purchased mine from eshocks.com - they offered free shipping. Total was about $269 delivered anywhere in the 48 states. (give or take a dollar or two - I forget what the exact amount was but including shipping it was the cheapest place I could find. )- Leo |

Ok, here is a great deal from Mark at SHOX.com.
They have the Sport and HD Bilteins to fit our B-bodies for the following: $249.80/set of 4 + shipping of $20 = $269.80/set of four This breaks down, including shipping, to: $67.45/each. I think this is a decent deal. What are everyone else's thoughts? So far I have the following people interested: Joel - 1 pr front John W - 1 set boxy Rob K - 1 set BradsDCM - 1 set Adam S. - 1 set (penciled in) Kenny B - 1 set Myself - 1 set ANY ADDITIONS/DELETIONS, PLEASE ADD TO THE THREAD! Thanks! |
