[s-cars] Baby needs a new set of struts

[LL - NY]

FWIW, I also got my Bilstein sports and Eibach's (one of the last original
sets) with
the spacer from www.shox.com. Order came quickly and complete and I
couldn't beat the shock prices (no one to compare the Eibachs to then, but
didn't want
the H+Rs) and the combination has been a nearly perfect compromise between
performance/ride. Very happy with the parts AND the vendor.
