struts for avant

[Konstantin Bogach]

Ben,

I installed Bilsteins HDs on my avant '89 in last spring (stock springs).  In my quest for right struts for rear, if I recall correctly, I found that Bilstein makes same rear HD struts for sedan and wagon.  I bought them from Bavarian Parts (NY). At that time they have best price I could find.
