[s-cars] RE: Eibach Springs & Bilstein Sport Shocks

[Voits]

I checked availability of Eibach widely (bracing myself for a search) a
couple months back and 4 of 8 jobbers (or thereabouts) could get them,
referring to factory availability. I purchased from shox.com along with
'spring perch' spacers because of price and off-shelf availability.  The
sales person didn't know anything about the perches until I asked him and he
checked with someone else, at which point he said they're required.

spring 1529.140
perch 1529F.PERCH

The part numbers screened on each spring matched those posted by a lister a
month ago.  I have not yet installed -- need to buy shocks.  Until I read
Charlie's post I was completely confident that I had the right stuff.  My
default path is to install with the rear spring perch spacer being careful
to measure my before & after ride height.

Sounds like there's a generation of new listers that are going beyond
maintenance & beginning the upgrade journey -- I'm one of them.  I'd like to
voice my thanks in advance, especially to those that took the time to
document their work!
