Looking for a shock upgrade over KYB's? Want better than Koni performance for less money?
Bilstein is the answer.
Just look at the huge 1.5" dia. of the Bilstein tube compared to the KYB:
More oil, bigger piston, better performance.
To help spread the word amongst you guys I am going to sell 4 packs of Bilstein shocks at near cost levels - Just so you can see what a great shock these are.
The monotube design of these shocks is far superior than twin-tube designs and the digressive piston and valve plates negate the need for so-called 'adjustable shocks'.
The photo below dramatically illustrates the size difference between the working piston inside a Bilstein monotube shock and one found in a typical "twin tube" shock.
Mono Tube versus Twin Tube
Just look at the size of the Bilstein piston! The Bilstein has a 228% larger surface area than the average conventional twin tube piston offering greater sensitivity and superior vehicle control.
Enough of the hype, here is the deal. Bilstein is discounting the shocks to me starting July 1st 2010 and they end it July 31st 2010. Offer is for Street or Sport valved sets of shocks only. A set is 2 fronts and 2 rears. Prices are plus shipping.
A pure street cruiser with stock or GT springs would work best with the 'Street' valved shocks. If you are using 560lb and higher front springs, like a sportier ride or take it to the track, choose the 'Sport' valved. Questions? PM me.
To make ordering easier, discounted pricing will be shown online during the month of July. You can order via our site using credit cards or Paypal. We can also take payment over the phone or you can send us a check. PM me if you have any questions.

If you are that excited about ordering them, wait until you drive them! Thanks for the kind words!
Last day of the sale tomorrow, order now before the pricing goes back up.
If Bilstein offer the same deal, I'll forward it onto you guys. No word from them yet and with the economy doing better this year it may or may not happen.
