[s-cars] Bilstein/Eibach my experience and

[Bill Mahoney]

Mark observed-
"2. Original Rear spring perch cannot be re-used per Igor's write-up.
The
rear strut body has a greater OD than the original Boge."
" New Bilstein Spring perch oriented correctly"
and
"P.S.  Bill, the strut plate is still a virgin - I have not drilled
it:).
Thought I'd try slotting the strut mount first.  Hope you are not in a
rush
for return."

Mark,
WRT - Bilstein spring perch, I have never read of these being installed,
although that observation could be taken with a grain of salt coming
from me.  But maybe this could be the delta difference?   My Avant I
think is maybe <1/2" higher in back than front, and I am perfectly happy
with that.  I believe in my heart of hearts that coilovers with 2bennet
adjustable strut plates is the way to go in the future, but that is also
just another silly thought in my brain.
Also, have you're way with my virgin plates.  I am done with em;)
as a matter of fact I'd have no objection to putting them into play for
other listers going for the Igor mod.
