I have a rear Bilstein Sport shock since the other is bent to crap.
I may just sell you mine and get a pair of something else I guess.

Quick search shows 1 brand new rear Bilstein Sport is averaged $110 plus shipping.

How does $45 +Shipping sounds?
The shock has roughly 10k miles on it and compresses/rebounds like new.

Need any rear shock mounts btw?

goto "user CP" and use a picture as your signature.

Just curious Blik, why use the shorter Sport Shock for a rally car setup? Unless they are very smooth rally events, I would not imagine wanting to bring the car closer to the ground...

Just honest curiosity, I mostly do pavement road racing, but have done some Rallyx, and was heavily looking at building for rally before deciding I was not ready to do the volume of reinforcement, bracing, and welding to build a reliable rally car.

But it does still pull at me :P

stock is about the only "long-ish" travel you can really get, but for rally-x/auto-x you should be fine on the billy sports.

[Mr. Tasty]

get some "vert" springs. Should raise the car up a bit for tires.

[kamotors]

we could make some strut mount spacers to get you some needed clearance for serious rally.


really common in the subaru world, but kind of non existent for E30's.

Seems like you know Kamoo pretty well so how about you pay him to pay me, and I'll ship it to your place accordingly. That, or he can show you the ropes of paypal.
