Default What about the Sachs Supertouring?

My beef with the Bils is the special tool requirement. I also don't want to have to take apart the strut to get at the insert.

Are Konis drop-in like Sachs/Boge?

Default Don't know about those. I just use like a 20 inch channel lock and go through spring.

The are also great for removing oil filters, checking ball joints, all sorts of things. I have a couple of pair. I think they are Snap-on, Mac, but these ones in the link would do just fine.<ul><li><a href="http://www.channellock.com/acb/stores/1/483_-_20_1_4_inch_V_-_Jaw_Ton_P3C4.cfm">http://www.channellock.com/acb/stores/1/483_-_20_1_4_inch_V_-_Jaw_Ton_P3C4.cfm</a</li></ul>

Default

Don't forget, the 92 springs are stiffer than the 93+ springs

Default They are all inserts on the fronts for our cars.

Channel locks or piope wrench FTW!

Default Thanks Alvin, I would definitely like to see how it rides.

I still have some almost new rear sports so I would only have to get fronts. How much is the revalving and how long did it take them?

Default it took about a week or so turnaround.

I think it was $60 per shock IIRC.
