Where do you guys get bilstein shocks, any sales/deals?
Did I read right to use Camaro (not sure which year) front shocks for lowered ebody?

When do you need different shocks?
What's the definition of lowered?

These part numbers are for stock height.  The part numbers before are for lowered. 

That's where I bought them but when I went to the 4 Wheel Parts site I couldn't locate them.  :huh:

On my daily driver the car wasn't stable floating all over the place with every bump, also uneven tire wear can be a symptom. I'm changing them based on a recommendation, have KYB shocks now, seems like a very harsh ride and this is just a cruiser, I'm not racing or autoXing

To me anything purposely beyond or not close to factory specs  :alan2cents: Really I need to measure shock travel and go from there.

PST sells them and should have a Labor Day sale coming up. Go get on their email list and have them send you a catalog. There are coupons in there too.

Nope, don't want to use Camaro shocks. IIRC, they have a mounting bar through the lower eye that would prevent it from mounting inside the mopar control arm.

I should have mentioned, if I remember right you press that bar out. I think the Camaro shock is 1"-2" shorter.
