Title: Bilstein shocks
Post by: bogeyman on August 05, 2011, 20:27:44

One thing I found out for sure while driving to PUB is that I need new shocks.
While browsing our suppliers list, I am surprised by the price variations.  They range from $70 to $145 each.
Are they all the same?
Anyone know what variations exist?
