"This car has had more than one set of shocks installed, trying to find the ride I wanted. After talking to the suppliers of street rod shocks, I felt Bilstein was at the top of my list. They had the answer to all my shock problems, I was trying to solve. Now 4 years & 15k miles later they work as good as the first day I installed them. We now have 5 cars in my area on Bilstein Shocks after a ride in this car".
  "They asked us for a few measurements, where the shock was placed on the control arms, angle
  and weight, to tune the suspension, no one ever
  asks for this. It worked."
