Default Full set of Bilstein HD's with only 2k mi on them!

They'd cost $550 new, I'd consider $400 - any interest? If so I can shoot photos in the next day or two.

PM me, thanks!

Are they the same length as stock? Also how stiff is the valving?

They're made to be an OE replacement, so the length is correct. Members on the forum estimate they're about 5% stiffer than stock, and help eliminate a bit of sloppiness even on stock springs. I purchased them to go with Tanabe NF210 springs, which provide a very mild drop with near-stock spring rates. I never installed them, though, as I may be going the coils route.

Ok, finalized the deal on coilovers, so these are officially for sale. I'll head over and take some photos this afternoon if I get time.

They're supposed to be stock replacements, so they shouldn't affect drop. I planned to pair these with Tanabe NF210's, which are actually also for sale now as soon as they're off the car. Total drop is .75" in rear, 1.5" in front. Perfect, in my opinion!

I'd like to actually sell them as a pair if possible!

So here's what I'm thinking - new it would be $550 for shocks, $220 for springs = $770.

I would do $530 + shipping for the pair. Or $170 for springs, $400 for shocks. Buyer pays actual shipping cost, method of their preference!

They'll work for any of them. I have them on a GS430. They'll just be .25" less of a drop in the front on a GS300.
