Anybody who wants some Bilstien HD's can have mine for a small sum once I
pull them. I think they suck. I've got them in both my V8 5spd and my '91
Avant. I've got some Koni Reds waiting to go into one of them, set at full
soft. I've heard one dissenting opinion about the Konis, but I'm not sure
Boge TG is what I want either so I'll try the Konis.
