[s-cars] Bilstein's

[Bruce Mendel]

Shocks are one item that it definitely pays to spend extra $$s, get local
shop to order and install them so they deal with any warranty issues. I had
same problem with LandCruiser shock once, and you're totally on your own for
labor and downtime if you order them yourself.
