[s-cars] Bilstein HD's

[Harold McComas]

Doug,

The problem with sourcing the Eibachs is that Eibach USA says NLA but they 
are available in Germany. So you need to find someone to get them or order 
them for you. Another caveat is if you do order them from Europe you cannot 
use the US part #. Example for the sedan:  old US Eibach # : 1529-140  is 
Euro Eibach # : 1528-140, which has front springs : 1527-001 and rear 
springs : 1516-002. Which IIRC, are the same numbers front and rear for the 
old US Eibachs? Anybody???

Anyhow, the part number I ordered for my sedan was Euro Eibach 1528-140.
