[s-cars] STAY AWAY FROM BILSTEIN SHOCKS

[northrup]

its hard to say what is worse or better.  I've had cars up on stands for 
months waiting for a koni rebuild as well.   Koni seems to close down 
their factory for months at a time - and that doesn't seem to help either. 

it's all quite frustrating.   i have KW's for now,  i have no idea if they 
will be any better or worse come rebuild time.
